Marcel Duchamp

'I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.'

I think the world is in need of some contradiction, some reflection, someone to question us. Ask people why? because i'd love to know how this whole design thing works, why is ariel seen as childlike? coz it has no feet? like a classic san serif, what makes us think that text without feet is a lower class? i'm going off on a tangent, but can you understand as to what im getting at, we need to contradict ourselves as a collective being how amazing would it be to start our consciousness again, wipe the slate clean take away all our associations, our socialised manners. i supposed what im getting at is i don't want to confirm tastes and social expectations but i don't think i have a choice, visual communication highlights and focuses on those assumptions. and i have to work within them. or completely contradict them to be ironic. Booooo!
