IKSV DESIGN BIENNIAL "ARE WE HUMAN?", 2017
Client: IKSV Design Biennial

Communication campaign design and exhibition catalog design for the biennial:

The theme of the biennial is "Are We Human?" and the curators Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley explain the theme of the biennial as follows.
“We live in an era where everything is designed: our carefully shaped personal appearance and digital identity, the personal devices that surround us, new materials, interfaces, networks, systems, infrastructures, data, chemicals, organisms and genetic codes. they are all being designed. Even our planet is completely covered with design, which has become a geological layer. The world of design no longer has an outside. Design has become the world. The concept of 'good design', which was produced in England in the mid-19th century, is no longer enough. It has disappeared over time It is an anesthetic. The inevitable question is 'what is design after design?'" 

In this context of the biennial, "Are We Human?" The "selfie" created by today's digital habits has become the main communication image of the biennial communication, as a result of the search for an image that is a kind of answer to the question and a reflection from the human eye. My selfie, which I took while looking for ideas, was the first image used in communication. Later, the communication plan, like the "selfie" situation itself, became a trend and this pose was shared by the followers of the biennial, and the communication with the photos of the participants increased with a new image every day.
