“In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation. ” 

“The spectacle is capital accumulated to the point where it becomes image.”

Love Matters meets the Rabbit Hole, Article in the Namibian Sun, 5th of June 2013

"I 

           love 

            typography, 
                                      I think I was born with text in my pocket," 

an excited Niina says in the article written by a journalist from the Namibian Sun. Niina wished to spend more time in a conversation but the journalist was very busy. 
Rabbit Hole, Love Matters impresses
The current exhibition at the National Art Gallery of Namibia was inspired by the insane (Freud, you are right here!!!) society. The inspiration for the logo of Love Matters in Art is a appropriation design of the past Land Matters in Art project. Love Matters was created to play with viewers eyes here in the Namibian society. What you see is not what you get. 

Typography and the exhibition, all the posters, whether on the streets or visiting the gallery, question your EYES and seeing. When hear what we wish to hear, and we see what we are conditioned to see.

To better understand the visual culture one needs to understand that nothing is real. 

The new Minister of Truth and Typography will go on a Road Show Journey in the near future.

come and meet the Minister of Truth.

We are all influenced our visual culture, 

we just do not necessarily know it, 

truly.

Love Matters in Art starts a discussion about

graphic design and  

what graphic design should look like 

and why. 

Based on reading the news she has collected articles, 

texts, she has transformed the texts with her magical 

typographic pen into posters, posters with honesty.

Posters in Action!

Vol.037 Poster is out on the streets. 

New Media Design students from the College of the Arts are distributing 130 posters in Windhoek.

They will observe and report what happens around the poster, in the interaction on the street, during 10 minutes after posting. Research through graphic design. 

This project gives alternative views on what graphic design is as an academic field of study,  research and action. Graphic design is and should be conceptual thinking. What it should not be is playing around with unnecessary elements. Unfortunately we see mostly visual pollution on the streets and in our surrounding environment. This project is another option to design, to design with mind, not with tools.
