ADBUSTERS

The new book by Kalle Lasn is out now at www.adbusters.org. Read how they like to present it, there´s nothing more to say: "Equal parts memoir, manifesto, scrapbook and revolutionary design manual, this book is an urgent call for artists, designers, architects and communicators to re-engage with the world, to explore their role in the pollution and future redemption of our mental and physical commons. In the battle for a new kind of meaning, Design Anarchy is 400 pages without precedent."

Raccomended: click to see the "LOOK INSIDE" flash presentation.
For who doesn´t know them already, here there´s a taste of the way the ADBUSTERS like to "rethink the production of meaning in our society".
It is always very interesting to see what´s going on at the ADBUSTERS.
This Vancouver based network of activists and artists founded by Kalle Lasn 15 years ago, wants "to topple existing power structures and forge a major shift in the way we will live in the 21st century."

Their projects includes the ADBUSTERS magazine, the websites adbusters.org / the socalled Adbusters Culture Jammers Headquarter, the "BlackSpotSneaker" / project for sustainable/vegan shoes and still social campaigns like "BuynothingDay" and "TV TurnoffWeek". I think that radical communication is the force at the base of ADBUSTER´s graphic research and I personally find the result "striking".
