a collaboration between Loes Claessens and Kirsten Spruit

Design in our society is about making other things look dated, Metahaven is a good example, dont you think?

Yes, we (at least I, Loes) think so too. It is not all about making other things look dated, but definitely some designers do, which is interesting and needed to stay critical and aware of unconscious happening routines and other habituation in our perception of communication online and offline.

We are Mentaxis. Backstage we are designers. On stage we are a band. Our first record will be released on Friday the 26th of June 2015 for our graduation project: "An Ode To Doubt"

Mentaxis performance promotion poster #2 >>> We are Mentaxis. Backstage we are designers. On stage we are a band. We explore the continuum of possibilities between extreme positions and liberate ourselves from pigeonholing. We are professional amateurs, confidently doubtful in our informed naivety. We find liberation in limitation and strength in vulnerability. We find ourselves in a mercurial state between questioning the present situation and embracing our current notions. Therefore, in true metamodern spirit, we propose “a pragmatic romanticism unhindered by ideological anchorage”. >>>
