I am writing a manifesto and I don't want anything, I say however certain things and I am on principle against manifestos, as I am also against principles… I am writing this manifesto to show you can do contrary action together, in one single fresh breath; I am against action; for continual contradiction, for affirmation also, I am neither for nor against and I don’t explain because I hate common sense. (Tristan Tzara, Dada Manifesto, 1918)
I love the idea of a contradicition generator - maybe this is at the heart of what we are trying to achieve: a space of contradicition, friction and tension where new design directions are formulated and mobilised.
