“The Edinburgh Festival Is Shite” … say all at chorus rising! (limited edition posters on request)

Chris Simmons alerted us to Everything is OK, a project which began in a design studio. Directly off the site is this explanation of the project, “Faced with the mounting inequities in our world and culture, we set out to assemble a list of resources that would point people toward positive action. We launched a simple website (everythingisok.com) as a means of sharing these links. To promote the site, we created barricade tape with the incongruous message “everything is ok.”

“Today, Everything is OK exists as a kind of social design experiment in subversive positivism. It explores the relationship between medium and message, challenges accepted modes of communication, and provides everyday citizens with tools for social commentary.”

Pablo Alfieri has a very nice portfolio of work.

Love the work of Jordi Ferreiro; his street art and installation work is just a little explosion of colour in an otherwise bland environment.

Manuel Raeder. Crazy site but lovely work.

Here’s an old bookmark i’ve just re-discovered. The work of Ben Loiz is very nice indeed.

Yum! That’s some damn sexy print work from Ultra.

The previously featured Urciuoli Sabato has sent us an email about his latest project…

“By now 5 elements dominate our environment, the stranger element, dissonant, is changing with no remedy our planet. Who’s the intruder? Everybody knows ma nobody really knows really. This work enable by means of interactivity to everybody to generate the vision of our environment in changing. In a dark room an intuitive control surface called reactable enable the user to create an environment represented by music and images, he generate, he create, he destroy everything sorround.”
