There is a return to the mechanical techniques of printing, art and design. One example of this is the letterpress flyers used in the Leeds Print Festival, which showcase a traditional aesthetic to printing.
Carl Honore - 'In Praise of Slow' focuses on the traditional 'slow' approaches to design that is not very popular today due to the changes and advances in technology and resources.
3 factors of 'Slow Design'
- Individual
- Environmental
- socio-cultural
Anthony Burril - Lisbon, Portugal posters
Experimental Jetset - Statement & counter statement
The Printing Project
The Pink Milkfloat - to promote the traditional printing practice
Nicolas Bourriaud - Relational Aesthetics
Barbara Kruger - 'I Shop Therefore I Am' (1987) The designs from this project were used to promote products sold in Selfridges.
Carston Holler - Test Site (2006)
The Glastonbury Free Press - Uses a traditional printing press to publish Glastonbury newspapers to the visitors for free, each year.
Technological reproduction of art removes: creativity, genius, eternal value, tradition, authority, authenticity, autonomy, distance and mystery.
