Keep it Flat
A design theorist (Alexandra Midal), a neuroscientist (Albert Moukheiber), two designers (Antoine Foeglé and Emma Pflieger) and two curators (Jolanthe Kugler and Scott Longfellow) take a look at the mechanisms behind the flat-Earth theory, and the ways in which "alternative" narratives are disseminated.
Like a giant tortoise shell, with a dome or without... the many different forms of flat earth are a map-like portrayal of dissent, a final bastion to refute modernity. What is flat earth theory? How does it commandeer political and scientific events and propose an alternative narrative?
Keep it flat. A little history on flat earth brings together the views of a design theorist (Alexandra Midal), a neuroscientist (Albert Moukheiber), two designers (Antoine Foeglé and Emma Pflieger) and the curators of the exhibition Terra. Designing our Planet (Jolanthe Kugler and Scott Longfellow) in an attempt to eschew the Manichean vision that generally drives the collective subconsciousness and to understand the underlying mechanisms on which flat earth theory is grounded.
