Let's talk...
If you ever find yourself lost in translation, these postcards from big-haired bass guitarist for the band Allan John and general design dude Morné Venter might serve as a roadmap.
Or not, who knows.
What I do know is that nothing is cooler than his series of ramblings on general nothingness.We have two things to thank for his profound sentiments: category #25 of the international D&AD awards: the open category. And Morne’s belief that nothing is a phrase that is too liberally tossed around these days.
Says my new favourite guru: “People don’t know what they mean when they say nothing anymore. For a species that does so much of nothing we really have no clue of what’s really going on. We apparently do it a lot, but explaining it is a different story. Instead of trying to solve the world’s energy problems or get a real idea, I took it upon myself to grapple with the metaphorical void and do a project about nothing. What I present to you now is a set of conceptual postcards meant to define, explain and explore “nothing” in search of universal knowledge and understanding.”
I don’t really care if we ever reach that pinnacle of knowledge and understanding… As long as random moments of brilliance like these litter the way.
Nothing. Coming soon to a corner cafe near you.
