Metahaven

Metahaven is a strategic design studio operating on the cutting blade between communication, aesthetics, and politics. They applied a riotous mixture of satirical, conceptualist expressions and folk internet imagery to subjects as diverse as the off-shore micronation Sealand, Wikileaks, a pop singer or digital rights think-tanks. As designers for our dystopian age, they have been tearing apart the ideas of branded states and soft power, amplifying the ongoing demise of the politically and socially meaningful role of the designer. It is with the internet as an amplifier that this perspective can become suddenly liberating.
