We like: A traverse about the commons…

Lethologica Press are rather pleased to have discovered The Triumph of the Commons: 55 Thesis on the Future – a collaborative text and art book by fifty-five artists.

Presented as an online book, short pieces – described as ‘theses’ – by New York writer Leland Maschmeyer present various futuristic concepts, that have been responded to by a number of artists and designers. The visual responses interpret the words to create a text and image fusion exploring traditional dystopian concepts.

There’s a hardcopy version of the book as well, but it’s mashed-up unravelling of the online experience that we find pretty lovely.
