Is it the fate of successful anti-consummerist design to eventually become commercial gold. Or can this fate be stopped by the control of the original designer?

ReplyDelete1. seems incredibly hard to produce something counter-cultural or revolutionary, whether an idea, movement, or product, that is not eventually co-opted by mainstream commercial culture. it seems like mass culture thrives on the symbols of rebellion or coolness (which is usually watered-down rebellion or creative inventiveness) rather than the actual thing -- the signifier vs the signified. being able to insulate one's ideas from that process would be gold in my opinion.
2. look at eyebeam studios in nyc or the graffitti research lab (related to eyebeam).
