Petar Crnokrak - Art & Politics

Peter Crnokrak is a graphics designer currently based in London UK and the founder of The Luxury of Protest. I love the way he uses lots of information/data on his prints and many of which is linked with politics.

Like this print "A_B_ peace & terror etc.", is a geopolitical survey of the 192 member states of the United Nations with regard to the quantitative degree to which each contributes to peace and terror in the world. It is available exclusively to Design Supremo.

This print is my personal favorite, it is formed using the information of the 85+ recorded covers of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and is mapped in relation to the original recordings by the band. You can also read an interview with Peter Crnokrak at Aisle One here.
