Poster One

Creating a list

of vocab, I started to get those creative juices flowing, and to start forming language around this project. Which, as of right now, my goal was to try to help people form skills around sense making in todays interconnected world. I had been researching Qanon, and post-truth philosophy to find out more about how people are processing the world around us.

“With no plan, and just a few photographs”

The process on this poster was an interesting exploration into digital art making that I ended up continuing throughout this project. With no plan, and just a few photographs I broke down said photographs into transparencies and textures. I layered these over each other continuously until the proper ethereal, existential emotional quality was reached.

The self is an infinite subject. This poster attempts to cause the viewer to question themselves and their place in the world. Hopefully causing them to see themselves as more than they were yesterday or the day before.

Poster Two

My exploration

of truth continues but this time through a more typographic, experimental lense. I started with just the type exploration then created some visuals that I later layerd over the type. Reading more about post-truth made me realize that most people believe that post-truth is largely a negative thing. However, because of my experience with my mental differences, I started to develope a differing opinion. Maybe by accepting our descent into post-truth, we can more quickly develope skills, and ways of thinking that don’t perpetuate the more negative sides of post-truth reality. Commonly seen in conspiracy theory groups like Qanon.

Demonstrating the two

differing sides of truth, the final poster is a two sided piece. This idea of lifting up and looking behind print pieces would carry through to the end of the project in the form of my exhibition.

Poster Three

theme to my previous poster I wanted to demonstrate the looseness of truth and the fact that truth could change at the drop of a hat. All it takes is one new discovery that nullifies all of our previous beliefs, catapulting us into a new reality.

For many, that discovery of a brand new reality is being made everyday thanks to the internet and the multitude of “facts” to choose from on the internet.

Using the same repetetive, digital collage visual language, I communicate this extreme dissemination of information and the subsequent collapse into chaos because of this. In the age of man made dominance over nature, returning to the simplicity of symbiosis with our planet is of the utmost importance to counteract this chaos of competing truths.
