Metahaven, on their commissioned ‘band logo’, presented in the Cabinet, and on T-shirts printed in limited edition: “Dread, as a techno-dystopian zeitgeist, rests intangible and un-rendered inside the fibre-optic cables, below the grey surface of the drones, and behind the ominous speech acts of cyber war-waging strategists. Styled as a word-image, ‘Dread’ becomes the ultimate totalitarian-seductive band logo of our technological age, as in ‘Doom Metal meets Cisco Systems.’ On Tour Now!”
Metahaven is an Amsterdam-based research and design collective on the cutting blade between politics and aesthetics. Metahaven’s work - both commissioned and self-directed - reflects political and social issues in provocative graphic design objects. Metahaven’s work has been published and shown worldwide. Their anthology Uncorporate Identity, was published by Lars Müller Publishers in 2010. Can Jokes Bring Down Governments was released by Strelka Press, Moscow in 2013. Black Transparency, an exhibition and pocket book, will be released in fall of 2013. Metahaven is responsible for designing the book that accompanies Dread and is published by Valiz.
