Not Normal (2019, Book Design / Layout Design)

The book was designed to collect the idea and students’ essays from the course, Design, and Politics. The course, intended as a forum for critical engagement with the tumultuous world events of the last few months, took form as an all-art-school ‘Design and Politics Reading Group’ coupled with a studio class. Through a series of provocative readings and viewings, the class traced a meandering political through-line between various economic, technological, and social phenomena associated with late capitalism: the economics of neoliberalism, the technology of the cloud/stack, cultural states of ‘hyper normalization,’ etc.
