You can’t always see aesthetics. But there it is . . . In the brutalist face of a bank building, cold as an autopsy table. In the way people look down when they walk along the streets. In the way the city exhales after dark. In the knack and smack of trolling the internet . . . and the angst of Christmas shopping.
Do we still have it? Can we invent new aesthetics, design sustainable products and rid our cities of waste . . . cultivate new sensibilities for our post-materialist age?
Our century will be a time of monumental ideological clashes, paradigm shifts and metamemetic insurgencies on multiple fronts. We artists and designers must be the vanguards — positioning ourselves at the forefront of every struggle and debate. Just as farmers are the keepers of land, we are the keepers of mindscape. We must nurture it and care for it and make sure there will always be wilderness, diversity and freedom there.
Build a new aesthetics with us . . . for a future that computes.
