‘Man does make his own history, but not under self-chosen measurements’ and ‘ Fight for a classless society’ are well known slogans of Karl Marx. He revised our daily perception of labor within an economic system and focused on an international system of equality by balancing economy and production. Eventually, what we need to consider is our work ethic. In the current globalizing timeframe we still search for balance between economy and work.
When graphic designers and typographers use language without rethinking its limitations, then they operate as alienated reproducers within a system of cultural (re) production.
Is it still possible to produce a character with universal acceptance or can you only prescribe one? Can different language systems exist in a plural manner or are we stuck in a fundamental unintelligibility?
Curated by Freek Lomme, Eric de Haas, Remco van Bladel
