Anti-Design-Festival 2010








Anarchy / Apathy workshop
Are we anarchic or are we apathetic?
That’s the question that Research Studios asked on Sunday 26th of September during our one day workshop at the Anti Design Festival. There were questionnaires, stickers, pens, laptops, printers and ipads to help us explore the statement with visitors to the space. It wasn’t scientific but we had a lot of fun engaging and interacting with people to create a vibrant output of opinion.
The Research Studios event was broken down into several core elements:
‘’We had 6 simple questions for the public to respond to about things that matter, people who are important and their motivation to be apathetic or anarchic. Once people had completed the questions we added their answers to our low-fi yet highly graphic ‘Poll Wall’ to create a visual representation of the answers’’.

They created a huge world map and another massive timeline for people to sticker, comment on and add too.
A few weeks before the event they put out an open submission statement to ask people to submit posters exploring the themes of Anarchy and Apathy. The ‘Poster Wall’ in the space displayed and for those that didn’t have time to do it before, asked people to add to this collection by creating new posters using the materials provided.
