TfT after opus 700: it's gettin' HOT in here!



“Censorship is a bitch” conta as aventuras do Flipados Team em plataformas digitais conhecidas e a censura internética que sofreram por parte de humanos sem sentido de humor. Desenvolveram a colagem digital como método artístico, com um piscar de olho às colagens analógicas dos cubistas e seguidores. Temos opus, octopus e finopus, assinados pelo grupo ou pelos seus elementos: Cabecilha, Flipado, RozáriaSBanned depois Rozette e américo/AméricA. Nesta época de progressos em termos tecnológicos, sociais e sexuais mas crescente instabilidade devido a extremismos religiosos, a censura é usada com todo o tipo de justificações. Agora em formato de postal e no mundo analógico, quantos postais serão intercetados pelos serviços de correio deste mundo?

O conceito IMAGINE vai para além da produção e distribuição de postais pela VANTAG. Trata-se de definir um novo paradigma do produto: pela abordagem às imagens, pelo design do verso, pelas texturas na capa e folha de texto e pelos suportes concebidos para apresentação em lojas.



















TfT reaching 700

















"Censorship is a bitch" tells the adventures of The Flipados Team in popular digital platforms and the internetical censorship they suffered because of humans with no sense of humor. They developed the digital collage as their artistic medium, with a wink to the analog collages of the cubists and followers. We have opus, octopus and finopus, signed by the group or its elements: Cabecilha, Flipado, RozáriaSBanned then Rozette and américo/América. In this age of progress in the technological, social and sexual fields but growing instability due to religious extremism, censorship is used with all kinds of justifications. Now in postcard format for the analog world, how many cards will be seized by the mail services of this world?

The concept of IMAGINE goes beyond the production and distribution of postcards by VANTAG. It aims to set a new paradigm for the product: by the approach to the images, the design of the back, the textures on the cover and text card and the holders produced for display in stores.
