AI and templates will change the way designers will work. Everyone will be a designer. Coexistence of machine and designer. Change is on the way. Are you the hamster?

The central theme of the poster is the relationship between things.
From the smallest to the largest organism, there is a cosmic connection, which makes us one.
To coexist, for us, means to stop existing and begin to live ourselves and others.

1:We all should take the space wee need to grow and live, but we are not alone on this planet so we also have to give and take care for each other because we are into this together.

2:Sometimes its hard to be with someone who is different.But wouldn’t it be nice to finde a way we can work things out together?

3:No Harmony without a peaceful coexistent.
But how looks the Reality? And how looks a realistic harmony?

Laut Plänen der Bundesregierung soll Deutschland bis spätestens 2038 aus der klimaschädlichen Stromgewinnung aus Stein- und Braunkohle aussteigen.
Wenn der genaue Abschaltplan bekannt wird, klärt sich ebenfalls u.a. auch ob und wenn ja, wieviel Entschädigung beispielsweise das Unternehmen RWE, fürs vorzeitige Abschalten bekommt, das im Spätsommer 2018 in herbe Kritik geraten ist, nachdem auf Drängen des Energiekonzerns weite Teile des Hambaches Forsts zwangsgeräumt wurde. In dessen Folge starb ein junger Journalist, nachdem er aus einem Baumhaus der Protestierenden gefallen ist. Coerce Exists ruft dazu auf den Austritt schneller zu realisieren.

Society was living at a increasingly fast pace:
Moving faster, Building taller structures, spending more… Heading towards self-destruction.

We must use this period of change as a catalyst to reconcile with the basics of nature. To change the conversation, how we interact with it, and work towards a future where both nature and humans can coexist.

“When the winds of change blow,
some build walls,
other build windmills.”- Chinese proverb.

In the end we all do share the same sky, breathe the same air and see something or nothing in the clouds above us.

How do we want to live together?
Coexistence is often in our own hands. Do we eat local products or do we get everything imported? Do we go to the small shop next door or do we get everything delivered? With the call to act locally, it is once again necessary to raise awareness and to support regional businesses and companies. To be aware what influence we can have on others and on us.

Eat Local — Buy Local — Think Global

Coexistence, in its simplicity, binds us together in times where we are vulnerable to division. The use of overlapping type symbolises the connections we form as we stay together in such volatile times.

We have a dysfunctional relationship with nature. One in which we believe resources are unlimited and selfishly ignore the destructive consequences we are making.

But we have to change that. Now more than ever its time to break down systems, reconnect with nature, and rethink the way we interact with it. We have pending work to do.

If we coexist that means we can accept/share our differences so we can live peacefully. Every person in this world can learn to open up, learn and value others. Lets bloom together and turn toward the light.

I chose a South African term. Ubuntu is an adjective that represents humanity, understanding, union. We can translate it with the concept “I’m because we’re”. I think it’s the key to coexistence. Everything exists just in relation to something else.

How do we want to live? How will we live? We all only exist because of exchange and cooperation. We are different and that is exactly why we become one. “One type different face” shows that we can only exist together because we exist together as the whole. Faces are formed from the font Arial, with different characters in a one fontsize. Different faces show individual characters and emotions and all of them they based on the same font. Seeing comes before speaking – and this is the only way we can exist in the future – by recognizing and not judging, because in the end we are all the same.

The notion of being together again, to coexist, nearer to each other has taken on a a kind of surreal quality in this period of regulated isolation. This time in isolation offers us a chance to ruminate on what it means to live together, to share this planet and its resources. Beyond Covid, we will be together again, increasingly closer as the populations grow, the answer will be doing that well. Part of a series of 3 works. A collaboration between Paul Garbett and Falvio Carvalho.

Coexist —
Our paths separate and cross even when they don’t meet. Nobody is really alone with their problems. Somewhere in the world there are people who experience the same and feel the same. Even though we are different. We have a lot in common. We are connected in our decisions, opinions, ways of thinking, feelings, experiences, mistakes, skills, interests, needs, perceptions, aims, conscience, problems, illness, area, friendships, family, responsibilities …

People are like Tetris bricks. Everybody is different. The game can only be one if all the bricks fit together.

Language is the key to our society.
Get inspired by the different voices of your city.
Listen and connect. Now more than ever.

The abstract shape in the background represents the Rosetta Stone. One of the first multilingual engravings.

Coexistance = Respecting each other. No dominancy, no discrimination, but equal rights!

JP/US is a collaboration with Rok Hudobivnik that explores the idea of verbal interpretation through photography and between two culturally different countries. This series of images present opposing perspectives, whereby each pair is linked by a single word. For this pair of images that word is ‘Up’.

Stop thinking about yourself and your interests, Let’s start thinking about us as humanity. Be altruistic!
