OFF THE GRID (part I)

  • Mauro Santos
Observed and analyzed both in an individual as well in a collective form, this project aims to explore the subject in a visual and conceptual way through poster design. Off the grid searches for analogies between design (especially in typography), and in both the real and the virtual worlds. Some concepts are connected themselves, others less so.
Although separated roughly by 2630.78km but only by a mere 0.1ms of delay (via Internet), nothing but a real and spontaneous will of collaboration was all that was necessary for two designers to engage on this project and make it possible. Ironically it was only achievable due the current ease of the global communication.

This project does not necessarily expect to raise the collective or the individual consciousness, to warn or educate, to ask questions or provide answers. However we hope that eventually it will. Somehow!
