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.

Design Displacement Group: NO EXIT (2016)

Design Displacement Group’s solo exhibition ‘NO EXIT (2016)’ at Graphic Design Festival Scotland explores issues around labour conditions, efficiency, isolationism, populism and panic in a political Union no one can practically ‘exit’ from. Produced in light of Brexit, the 3-way projection installation uses algorithms to create a series of parallel and infinitely changing narratives, played in sync with a mystical and euphoric sound track by LA-based musicians OOFJ.

During a weeklong intensive Summer Academy at the Van Eyck, the Design Displacement Group will create site-specific new campfires, using all graphic design media as we know it today, from coding over RISO to vintage Gestetner stencil machines. Setting up camp at the renowned Charles Nypels Printing Lab of the academy, we will hunt, gather, survive, fight and finally transform the works we create together to be presented during an exhibition at the Van Eyck.

During the 27th Brno Biennial, the Design Displacement Group re-appropriates the narrative format of the opera. The four grand themes of this opera (and any other tragedy) being love, jealousy, ambition and revenge are the basis of our story exploring the theatrics and performative requirements of a design practice. These narratives unfold through an immersive audio-visual presentation depicting scenes rich with intrigue, gossip and speculation.
