DESIGN WALK 2010 {NOISE vs SILENCE} ~geometry~

13 Graphic Design Studios resolve 13 contradictory elements within the creative process.The walk takes place in the vibrant area of the city next to the Acropolis, leading the visitor between cult shops and hip bars to discover works by award-winning graphic designers, in one of the most inspiring neighbourhoods in Europe, where ancient Greece, West, East, yesterday and tomorrow meet.

For the 2010 walk, double decker is challenging 13 Design Studios to create a piece of work inspired by the contradictions / oppositions with which every designer has to deal, and which arise from fundamental questions in design methodology. The resulting exhibition, POLES APART, will give a unique visual insight into the creative process – as well as its curious contradictions. 

"A thing, until it is everything, is noise, and once it is everything, it is silence" Antonio Porcia

NoisevsSilence

NOISE vs SILENCE

The transmission of signals, becomes increasingly more dense, and information tends to degrade into entropy, noise, absolute vagueness. A truth appears because an event interrupts repetition. It is a thing, that we cannot name, but we decide to remain faithful to, to take the chance of examining it. It is a message that demands decoding, before it becomes fully apparent. Yet, if its meaning became absolute, thus namable, the whole process of interpretation and construction of truth, would collapse into silence.

IF, RUDYARD KIPLING

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; 

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too; 

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master, If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; 

If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same; 

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, and stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings and never breath a word about your loss; 

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, if all men count with you, but none too much; 

If you can fill the unforgiving minute, with sixty seconds' worth of distance run;

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it and - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
