Summary:
This book presents a number of experimental projects to gain experience in communication design as a symbolic and public practice. It proceeds from a critical position vis-à-vis the customary mediation of information. This is more necessary than ever now that design operates in the entertaining and marketing spectacle organized by the neo-liberal world order as an instrument for the colonization of human existence.

A storytelling structure that seeks to reveal the opposing elements of the message and opts for active interpretation by the spectator.
