The Corporate Leviathan

[At Occupy Design]:

A leviathan is a mythical serpent beast that is feared by all. Historically the Leviathan has been used to describe the nature of the Government as powerful and dominating. Today we face a new leviathan: Corporations controlled by the 1%. Unlike our Government, we have no control over this power aside from the methods by which we are forced to support it. This image is call to action and resistance; to mobilize and fight back against these systems of oppression.

Design 111 and #OccupytheClassroom

http://occupytheclassroom.tumblr.com/

Julie Takacs teaches Design 111 at SUNY Cobleskill. The students of her class happened to be studying texture/collage as the #OccupyWallStreet movement began to go nationwide. After discussing the situation in class, she challenged them to create a collage that expressed their viewpoint on #OWS. Shedidn’t influence them on which side they would take, but allowed them to use their own personal situation as the basis for their work.

The students presented their collages to the class and in doing so they shared their ideas and opinions. Art is a strong form of communication and she wanted to show her class how to take their work to a wider audience beyond the classroom by posting and sharing on the internet. The tumblr platform seemed perfect for the art show, so the class elected the name for this blog and agreed to have their work published on the web.

After this work was done, she presented the projects to a group of senior graphic designers. They are supplying the tumblr blog with the graphics they did for the campus.
