Concept
The T-shirt serves as a canvas for original graphic design and simultaneously as a space for conceptual commentary, continuing the traditions of 1960s art. This T-shirt project, which features quotes from deceased philosophers and artists about modern technology, is built upon the ironic clash of different eras. Its intellectual value lies in the delicate balance between humor and serious thought—a thought that, by overcoming temporal distance, gains a new resonance and prompts the viewer to re-examine the present through the lens of past ideas.
I chose Kierkegaard because he wrote extensively about fear, despair, and how a person fears themselves. Therefore, the phrase sounds as if it is genuinely from him. Drawn above the text is a slightly ajar door—a suggestion of choice and leaping into the unknown.
