Miniluv
NYC and Upstate New York | 2023 – present
An attractive campaign devoid of context
Imagined as the work of an underground political cult using George Orwell’s newspeak, conceptual work on the campaign began in the Poetics app, then continued into physical and virtual ephemera.
Work from the campaign thus far includes billboards, posters, murals, chapbooks, pins, and tshirts.
“It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”
– George Orwell
“It's air, you know. It's just there. There's no choice. You have to breathe, so you have to use Helvetica.”
– Erik Spiekermann
