Loud {Bruyant} Hybrid Commodity

Loud {Bruyant} Hybrid Commodity

OrangeFlux, Fabrizio Gilardino, Wheaton, Illinois, 2001

Description

Loud {Bruyant} is a theoretical and visual reflection on the role of graphic design.

Fabrizio Gilardino: My essay, Catastrophe Au Salon Macao, is both a political statement and an aesthetic one. I wanted to be as far away as possible from the classic coffee-table book on graphic design: nice to look at and convenient to forget when clients call. It is also a fulfillment of our desire to create hybrid products.

OrangeFlux: Such products fuse design, art, music and literature to create a new expression. For Esperanto Marmalade, we each played‚ graphic instruments on a long scroll, improvising as the music moved us. It became our visual recording‚ a live graphic jam session.
