Don't Look if You're an Epileptic



Those wacky Germans sure have an interesting idea of art. I got this image from JUNG + WENIG, a site that seems to hearken back to the old Bauhaus design movement. As I don't understand German, I don't totally catch their ideology. However, I assume with titles like Globalize me! and The Revolution will not be Televised, they must be fairly left wing.

But let's forget politics. What I care about is the intangible quality of "neat". That means, "Does it twist my brain around and upturn my frown?" This is my primary concern.

In this sense, JUNG + WENIG gives me what I want: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a zombie robot, and seemingly nonsensical typography. Plus, everything seems all the more interesting if you imagine Dieter from Sprockets to be reading everything.
