This one that I really don’t agree with, but which show the armless position of politics in graphic design today:

“To be active in the public domain pre-supposes that there are specific spaces provided for interaction and that the border between the private are clearly drawn. Such was maybe the case with modernism: if you were able to infiltrate into one of those institutions, you could speak from there and be heard. These “privilege” position don’t exist anymore. The semiotic geography of today is much more atomised. As you could witness in politics and philosophy recently, even if you have something to fight against, the question is on what ground can you fight back?”
Lionel Bovier, member of the jury.

And the desperate one that asks for a romantic fight:

“(…_ The contemporary perception of graphic dign is entirely superficial, to the point superficiality becomes a prerequisite for your professionnal success. There’s a lack of design criticism, it’s simply mot discussed in a serious way. And I deplore the absence of any sense of history. (…) And if the debate becomes heated then it’s a good sign because it shows that people still care.”
Cornel Windlin, president of the jury of this competition.

Ready to hear? Ok.
Ready to change? Hm…
