Hasta La Ideas

Working across various disciplines including art direction, graphic design, photography, typography and motion design, Parisian multidisciplinary platform, Ill-Studio is currently exhibiting at London’s KK Outlet…

The exhibition, entitled 72 Dots Per Inch, takes inspiration from the world wide web, and follows on from the studio’s recent publication, Moodcyclopedia, an encyclopedic book of the studio’s references and how these have influenced its work.

The show is chock-full of weird and wonderful found, doctored and collaged imagery – all found on t’internet and printed as a series of monochrome prints. The studio members have also taken photographs based on internet images but re-imagined off-line and shot in-camera.

Specially for the show, the studio has directed a video entitled Graphics Interchange Formats (still shown above) which takes the shape of a giant animated gif, that references and celebrates the amateurism of YouTube culture.

72 Dots Per Inch runs until March 31 at KK Outlet, 42 Hoxton Square, London, N1 6BP.
