Fake Id lecture

Fake Id did a lecture with us on friday the 1st of May 2009. This lecture was not what i expected  it to me. I found it very strange and i did not understand it.

Fake Id have permanent exhibitions all over the world including New York and London.

As well as being graphic designers they also teach.

Fridays lecture was broken down into 3 sections. Language, Sound and Text.

The language section looked at Roseanne and android. This was latin graffiti  and showed us how a new language had been made and translations to this.

The sound section played us recordings. There was a tape of Puerto Rican New Yorkers and advertisements for Burger chef. Burger chef recorded kids stories and gave them away as a toy with a kids meal.

The third and final section looked at text Ernie kovacs and breaking the forth wall. They finished up by talking to us about the work they are doing called LSTN which is what we contributed to in the workshop we did.

I personally found this lecture a let down. The workshop we did with them was very insightful and interesting and i assumed the same would show through the lecture. I would have prefered to see how there lecture linked to there work and seeing more about fake id.
