Coded Crisis

€25.00

An Exercise in Aggressive Organisation

While the previous pieces were merely confused and busy, this one has a terrifying sense of order. It’s like a very strict tidy-up gone wrong. It is, to be perfectly blunt, rather intense for something that is entirely meaningless.

Notable Features:

  • The "Objects": We have a light blue... thing. A dark yellow... thing. And an orange... thing. They are all very distinct. Very assertive. Like three different types of office supplies trying to start a band.

  • The "Footprints": These clusters of dots. One thinks of rain, but given the rest of the piece, they are more likely 'action points' from a tedious meeting that someone actually took notes for. They are tidy, which is the worst kind of 'action point.'

  • The Agitated Stripes: We have the same stripe patterns as before, but here, they seem to be indicating... speed? Direction? Or perhaps just a deep sense of frustration. That little cluster of black lines next to the yellow blob is the visual equivalent of a person pointing a very firm finger while saying, "And this is point two."

  • The "Eye" Sit-In: There’s still a distinct feeling of being watched, but this time, it’s not from a neighbour. It's from a manager who has just discovered you've used the wrong colour code for the monthly report.

Why it’s "A Bit Much":

This is the perfect piece for someone who wants to signal that they are efficient and organised, but has absolutely no actual tasks to perform. It’s the visual equivalent of a colour-coded binder containing only blank paper.

"It’s... certainly got a system. You can't fault its paperwork." — An HR manager, while declining a pay raise.
