Making Public Authenticity?
observations and artistic strategies in the Post-Digital Age
2017 || Paperback || Barbara Cueto e.a. || Valiz
The everyday connotations of the original, the real, sincere, valid, historical or deep are well-known, and the opposite of the authentic may then be the superficial, false, not-what-it-seems, or just new. Nonetheless 'the real thing' is still a fruitful starting point to analyze changes in the post-digital society. Digital technology is embedded in almost every personal relationship, in labour conditions, and in aesthetic practices. What does this mean for the 'authentic'? To unfold the nuan...

Smooth City
Against Urban Perfection, Towards Collective Alternatives
2023 || Paperback || René Boer || Valiz
In cities around the world a new urban condition is spreading
rapidly: an ever-increasing push for ‘perfection’, efficiency
and control and the active eradication of any
aberration, friction or alternative. The smooth city with its
sanitized spaces and new technologies compresses urban
life into a seamless experience. While the demand for safe,
clean, and well-functioning urban environments is understandable,
the rise of the smooth city undermines the democratic
nature and emancipatory po...

Bootlegging as a Creative Practice
2023 || Paperback || Ben Schwartz || Valiz
Over the last few decades the term ‘bootlegging’—a practice once relegated to smugglers and copyright infringers—has become understood as a creative act.

Today, bootlegging has become fetishized as an aesthetic in and of itself, influencing everything from underground record labels to DIY T-shirts,...

CAPS LOCK
Graphic Design and Capitalism
2021 || Paperback || Ruben Pater || Valiz
Capitalism could not exist without the coins, banknotes, documents, information graphics, interfaces, branding, and advertisements made by graphic designers. Even anti-consumerist strategies such as social design and speculative design are appropriated to serve economic growth. It seems design is locked in a cycle of exploitation and extraction, furthering inequality and environmental collapse. CAPS LOCK uses clear language and visual examples to show how graphic design and capitalism are ine...
