Karlssonwilker Inc on graphic design with humour
South African Design Week/Recorded 2008
A close reading, kept within reach.
Karlssonwilker Inc takes graphic design & illustration as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in USA in 2008, the conversation is grounded in Karlssonwilker's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Karlssonwilker enlighten listeners on the founding of their company and the designs they have created since 2000.
