Brazil
Coins, coins, coins. Thinking about John Heartfield´s collage showing Hitler eating gold coins through a throat also made with coins. More and more coins. I do really think that this modest tribute to my country has something to do with the lack of design in our political and public systems. Of course it´s part of the logic embedded deep on every city hall, every public department on the land. By design we, simple users, can have the hability to search, find out and have easy acess to information. On the lack and corruption the bureaucracy and dumb organization starting from folders, search engines, ugly and grotesque public web sites, desnecessary hard especific terms of lawyers, philosophers, ministers, artists, etc. this are the dark tools to lock the power we should have by design. And now all the official documents going straight through into oblivion...obviously our governments and every single person who have achieved some litte power and influence in the social field don´t like the basics concepts of design running freely in our daily lives.
