Individual perception is something that we find difficult to share, and yet we keep trying—in all sorts of different ways. Evelin Dam-Hansen would like to focus on the visual design of our everyday lives and her observations in this regard. She is concerned with places and conditions that lead to sensory overload, excessive demands, insufficient demands, and ultimately to a shift in perception. What does the world—her world—look like before it tips over? She has absorbed and collected stimuli in various places: at the train station, in the neighborhood, in the toilet of a shared flat ... In order to visualize her experiences and perceptions, she reduces them to typography, color, and surface in her design. It is important to remain as subjective as possible, because she does not want to assert a general validity that cannot exist. As designers, we bear a large part of the responsibility for the visual overstimulation of our environment and should actually be able to make it more honest and pleasant. Back in 1964, designer Ken Garland's manifesto First Things First called for design to be used in an inclusive, positive way to change society. And why aren't we doing that? Evelin Dam-Hansen would like to open up the space for necessary considerations: What can design be—moving away from an emphasis on ever-changing banalities, away from flashing, dancing buttons and screaming neon signs?
