Studio at 620 and ras plus e
Activist design collaborative ras+e returns to Florida.
RE: is design without numbing agents; it’s design beyond Impact and Lara Croft posed all contrapposto on a supermarket tabloid. Our premise is based on working with cheap democratic materials paired in exploitive relationships. Medium follows idea; text and image melt together. His design is fi ne art. Her writing is graphic design. Think of them as two easy going (slow) tectonic plates inevitably inclined to friction. The result is combustion: re.ink.art.nation. Think Mount St. Helens with toner.
