This series of posters named ”Fuck Stereotypes” are part of a personal challenge created from a phobia for using “Comic Sans”. Based on the discredit established when using this typography, an established and widespread dogma in all educational professional fields, the aim was to turn the topic upside down and find its real value.

“We need to talk…” is in part, a manifesto, adopting missing image icons all over the web as protest mark. The aim is to re-think how we engage with online art and design content, using the internet as a resource rather than a means to an end.
Before the online phenomenon of blogging took off, a similar activity took place in a different environment, one that still takes place today. Magazines, postcards and other gathered material are cut or torn out and stuck onto walls of bedrooms alongside personal drawings, quotes and notes. A truly personal collection; a curated space. John Berger cited that these spaces were a logical replacement for museums, however something was lost when this idea was transferred to the world wide web. The exciting part, is the spontaneous interaction and therefore genuine dialogue that occurs in that space. Something that does not exist online. Nicolas Bourriaud suggests in his book ‘Relational Aesthetics’ that we are loosing any areas of genuine social interactions that are not based on commerce.
“We need to talk…” proposes a re-introduction of such interaction, not by condemning the online world but by creating new ways to use this gathered content.

Grey. It makes no statement whatever; it evokes neither feelings nor associations: it is really neither visible nor invisible. Its inconspicuousness gives it the capacity to mediate, to make visible, in a positively illusionistic way, like a photograph. It has the capacity that no other colour has, to make ‘nothing’ visible.
― Gerhard Richter
