Lecture- Politics

By designers working for brands, they change the way consumers think and feel

Adbusters- politics within culture- Vkhutemas v Bauhaus

Detournement- makes you stop and think- stops automatisation
Meme warfare- shows transferral of ideas and ideologies

Victor Papanek
-Things are designed to break so you buy them

Cuba- cars and sustainability

-Prevented from making cheap, resourceful solutions as they don't feed the cycle of consumerism
-By not addressing the problem, we become part of the problem

William Morris- talks about the 'lesser arts' - causes division

Sans serif font- anti fascist

Stepanova and popova- arts gain status
