‘The spectacle is the epitome of ideology because in its plenitude it exposes and manifests the essence of all ideological systems. The impoverishment, enslavement, and negation of real life. The spectacle is the material expression of the separation and estrangement between man and man.’ -Guy de Bord, Society of the Spectacle.
So how about this. Let’s un-spectacle and get realer and realer. Today I am printing and proofing the first-ever issue of DESK, our new quarterlyish magazine. It’s in the A3 folded over to A4 format. It’s a set of drawings and personal writings, as well as essays on the creative process, by Dipika Kohli.
