Filips Staņislavskis (Rīga/Berlin)
Specialized in being a generalist, I position myself as an attitudinal designer orbiting around the 'how?'. Observe, speculate and care are approaches that encompass all activities of this web(page). I like to think of my projects as tools and mirrors that are to be used for critical self-reflection, nudging my audience towards questioning the habitual. With this work, I attempt to facilitate moments that aspire for a revision of attitude, with a gaze turned towards collective response-ability in a world of complex, constantly reconfiguring entanglements. Besides my own work, you will also find here projects done by the design/art collective Nonhuman Nonsense that I am part of.
