y its very nature, skateboarding is a political act - despite a proliferation of purpose built skate-parks, the street still remains the most popular venue for many skaters. Public and private spaces are reclaimed and re-designated as skaters use banked walls, kerbs, steps, handrails and pavements as the backdrop for their uniquely raw art form.

“It’s radical!”

|

This oppositional approach was the inspiration for a series of illustrated boards created by the students from the Design Communication programme at LASALLE College of the Arts in conjunction with some of the most exciting graphic artists and designers in Singapore. Adopting the language of graphic activism the designers involved have created works which aim to powerfully persuade visitors to reconsider their attitudes toward a range of contemporary issues.

TRANSMISSION LAB: EXPERIENCE

E

xperiences characterize our existence; it is the sum of both significant and mundane daily instances garnered over the years. Be it a physical, mental, or even a virtual one, these interrelated encounters can easily change our lives and shape our existence. As we continue to assimilate new experiences throughout our lives, some experiences are felt, and then forgotten. Such memories reside only within one's mind, without an avenue to be preserved for remembrance or reflection or shared.

hey express their art as an extension of their childhood. Their influences come from: “Pop culture... shopping, supermarkets, TV, toy commercials, LEGO, computer games, the news, magazines...” Kai was the only one who grew up with Nintendo to inspire him, the rest of the eBoys lived in East Germany where video games didn’t exist. Their work makes intense use of popular culture and commercial icons, and their style is presented in three-dimensional isometric illustrations filled with robots, cars, guns and girls.

Mostly their designs are printed today and not used solely for computer screens anymore, allowing images to get more complex with details.”If we don’t work on other projects at the same time it takes about six to eight weeks to finish a very detailed cityscape, three eBoy’s working on it, nearly full time. But, if we have to do it in our spare time, which happens often, it could take years to finish a picture since we can’t spend so much time on it.” Their unique style has gained them a cult following among graphic designers worldwide, as well as a long list of commercial clients. Their latest project are plastic Peecol toys with Kidrobot, and soon a new line of wooden toys are to be produced under their own label.
