In the context of the ongoing series of lectures called GK-Talks at the HKB Bern, we would have had the pleasure to welcome Silvio Lorusso for a presentation around his book Entreprecariat tonight. Silvio is a writer, artist and designer living in Rotterdam, NL, whose works focusses on the cultures and rhetorical regimes embedded in techno-social systems. Instead of seeing him live in the auditorium of our dearly missed F11, you can still follow up on his ideas by watching him talk on YouTube. Not the same, but that will have to do for the moment!
👂 Listen to Silvio, straight outta Ljubljana

You are privileged. Just reading this sentence makes you part of the 85% of the 🌏🌍🌎 population that is literate, the 20% that understands 🇬🇧 English, and the 40% that has access to the 💻 internet. Visual communication is not an even playing field, but is dominated by the urban regions, primarily in the Northern hemisphere. The design of visual communication is shaped by the designers’ cultural and political bias. Designers themselves are often unaware of this. Ruben Pater’s book The Politics of Design shows the cultural and political bias of visual communication using visual examples.
