Jan van Toorn: Design’s Delight
010, Rotterdam 2006
Jan van Toorn presents a number of experimental projects aimed at gaining experience in communication design as a symbolic and public practice. Proceeding from a critical position on the customary mediation of information, van Toorn seeks to give viewers and readers independence in forming their opinion. This approach, entitled ‘dialogic’ is a connective model of visual rhetoric that has a polemic nature and polyphonic visual form.
