Commons in Design
2023 || Paperback || Christine Schranz || Valiz
The scarcity of resources, climate change, and the digitalization of everyday life are fuelling the economy of swapping, sharing, and lending—all of which are in some way linked to a culture of commoning. In this context, we understand commons as community-based processes that use, collectively manage, and organize generally accessible resources—referring to both goods and knowledge.

The responsible object
a history of design ideology for the future
2019 || Paperback || Marjanne van Helvert || Valiz
Welke indruk zouden toekomstige archeologen krijgen van onze tijd, als ze zouden graven op de plaatsen van onze huidige beschaving? Ze zouden eindeloze stortplaatsen vinden gevuld met de dingen die we hebben weggegooid: plastic en metalen objecten, nog smeulende hopen elektronica, synthetisch textiel, en andere dingen die niet binnen afzienbare tijd afbreekbaar zijn.

Bootlegging as a Creative Practice
2023 || Paperback || Ben Schwartz || Valiz

Debates about homage, appropriation, and theft that are common in the art world, are now being held in the spheres of corporate branding, social media, and the creative industry as a whole. Today, bootlegging has become fetishized as an aesthetic in and of itself, influencing everything from underground record labels to DIY T-shirts,...

CAPS LOCK
Graphic Design and Capitalism
2021 || Paperback || Ruben Pater || Valiz
Capitalism could not exist without the coins, banknotes, documents, information graphics, interfaces, branding, and advertisements made by graphic designers. Even anti-consumerist strategies such as social design and speculative design are appropriated to serve economic growth. It seems design is locked in a cycle of exploitation and extraction, furthering inequality and environmental collapse. CAPS LOCK uses clear language and visual examples to show how graphic design and capitalism are ine...
