FACULTY FOR _EYE OPENING
We don’t say that we can change forces in China, but at least we can change our Western perspective
When we are in China we try to think that we are invisible and becoming invisible allows us to go wherever we want
We are mainly working,
walking, collecting stories illegally.
And then again, it
is just about our eyes, there
is no understanding in the
terms of language
We try to be eyes that can see
We work on the informal economy, which is a bit different from informal city, because economy is larger then only the city
Informal economy exists everywhere – also in this Biennale – it is just a matter of grasping it and turning it into a project
We are also teaching students strategic design that incorporates the notion of experience
