ICO / UbyU – # Manifesto

  Here is a little snippet of what I'm doing in college at the moment (you can just about see me in the back), working alongside Ico Design, UbyU, and my friend Kenny Foot, to produce a manifesto based on a chosen Hashtag and Tweet linked to it.

"On the 4th of October the second year FdA students started a project organized in partnership with ICO Design. This project requires them to work in pairs to design a manifesto. The starting point for these manifestos will be a tweet related to one of the following hashtags: #give; #riot; #poverty; #profit; #wealth; #community; # hedonism; #play; #share; #vote; #brand; #exploit. Twitter condenses messages to bite-sized sentences that communicate beyond their word limit and are open to a myriad of interpretation. One of the aims of the project is that students visually interpret the deeper meaning of a ‘tip of the iceberg tweet’ in order to produce a book that addresses the wider issues that the tweet alludes to. These books will be printed by online bespoke publishers, UbyU and will be exhibited at‘Critical Tensions’, the 10th Annual St Bride Library conference.

Viv from Ico kicked off the project with a slidetalk about Ico’s work and provided loads of sources of inspiration – including punk fanzines and the work of David Pearson and El Lissitsky. Working with Derek Yates, Viv then led a series of workshops that enabled the students to start to formulate their ideas and gain a deeper understanding of what the project would involve."
