Our text-led culture is obsolete. We are flooded with visuals. Important issues are increasingly decided upon by our response to imagery. Think about TV. Think about politics. Think about the books you don't read. Visual Power is a project about the power of imagery in our culture. On October 1st the Biggest Visual Power Show will take place. Thirty artist, designers, filmers, scientists and composers are invited to present their inspiring statements on the look of the world and how we can see it. My contribution: I am nervous, because I am host of the event.

Sorry Fiddel.. I try to be clear all the time, apparently it didn’t work here. When I say ‘our text-led culture is obsolete’ I mean that thinks aren’t decided anymore on the basis of carefully reading papers, reading reports alone. Image has a much bigger role in our culture nowadays. In fact this explanation is way to long and you probably won’t even read it. :) This way of working used to be dominant, like stones were dominant in the stone age.

Note that I don’t state that TEXT is obsolete! TEXT CULTURE is obsolete. We still need A LOT of TEXT but short sloganized sound bite sms-style.
