In our discussion surrounding community I’ve taken a particular intrest in the concept of the anarchist. The modern day anarchist encompasses much more than you’re average anti-globalization anti-government protester - it can be viewed as a way of life. To live seperatly from the greater community is in some ways a sustainable practice. Looking at self reliant small communities that reject large scale systems of production and governace already exists - and has for hundreds of years. The thought that sparked my my interest in this subject is all creative revolution has, in part, been born out of ‘Creative Anarchism’. While the status quo follows an excepted method of visual communication or thought – often the historically significant designer/artist/acedemic has broken away from the large body of excepted thought and created a whole new one; Impressionists, modernism, da da, push pin, post modernism all broke from the group. Is creative anarchism the rout of all new creative though?
Community can only last to a certain threshold. Often the smaller groups with the larger collective develop a tighter bond. How as designers do we develop community?Do we have similare thresholds?Do designers appreciate community or do we strive to be individuals?Or is it that rebelion against the norm is were creativity exists – only in destruction of community do we have creation? Um – don’t know
