Introduction: If anything has changed in the world since 1977, when philosopher Paul Virilio wrote his first book on speed, it is that everything has become even faster. Graphic design is no exception.
Economy and technology impose an hallucinating rhythm to society, to culture, to design. This forces the designer to have less time to think and far more areas of art and design to embrace, thus stretching their boundaries.
What remains is the imminent need to move simultaneously in every direction, to move on, to continuously flood cities (and design) with movement. In this sense - while losing its identity - graphic design is, more than ever, a nomadic discipline. There is no time to consider history, only to produce, to deliver.
Inevitably, fastness equals superficiality.

Graphic design is submerged in ambiguity, having on the word “playfulness” one of the crucial elements that can explain this reality.
This is a proposal to materialize a theoretical idea, in order to prompt discussion amongst students, practitioners and the audience.
This installation was exhibited during the month of December at the Royal College of Art, London, 2007.

This film is part of a series of visual experiments to materialize critical writings on the contemporary practice of graphic design. It aims to enrich the ongoing discussion of graphic design as art (Coles, Alex (ed); Design and Art, MIT Press + Whitechapel Gallery), through the use of film.
The series of works are titled “Graphic Design Criticism”, Royal College of Art, 2007.
