In the LOGO exhibition, the PLAGUE collective continues to explore the relationship between art, design, and politics. This time, the curators’ attention is focused on criticizing the overabundance of visual and informational content. Contrary to this critical tradition, the exhibition proposes to view the subject as an unwitting participant in political and economic processes, in which they are neither a consumer nor a producer of content or goods, but rather a conditional unit of exchange between corporations and political structures
