High-content concepts

(Soundrack: Smokey Robinson and the Miracles)
Here are a few examples of activism as art that I found on the Land + Living Network. The above image by Gordon Matta-Clark was suggested by the LLN as a possible inspiration for the DDD Project in Detroit which called attention to the decay to which city officials and residents had become accustomed. The LLN post also introduced me to the dedicated designers at the Detroit Collaborative Design Center whose work blends art, research, architecture, and community activism.
