Design Displacement Group has re-appropriated the narrative format of the opera, exploring theatrics and performative requirements of a design practice. As a basis for this generative multi-screen project, DDG explores the seminal text 'No Exit' by Jean-Paul Sartre in the light of Brexit and a wider political landscape of fracture in the Eurozone. The opera is constructed through an algorithmically coded system with generated music in collaboration with Los Angeles minimalist duo OOFJ. Issues around labour conditions, efficiency, isolationism, populism and panic in a political Union no one can practically 'exit' from have an overlap with questions DDG is posing for a post-signature design practice.
NO EXIT (2016) premiered October 21st, 2016 during the Graphic Design Festival Scotland, and was on show till the 27th of November at the The Lighthouse Scotland Center For Architecture And Design in Glasgow.
