Tendency Towards Complexity
Another fanzine, Silkscreen Print. With: Jörg Albrecht. Research: Travel, Wisdom, Complexity ☢
"Tendency Tours" is the imaginary travel agency which was developed by Jörg Albrecht and me.
Move through parallel worlds and words of wisdom. You might order the fanzine via Shake Your Tree Edition.
The idea of SYT Edition is getting two artists together to create one mutal fanzine. So, I met
writer Jörg Albrecht in NY while my stay at Sagmeisters and we developed our dreamlike study trip, a
schedule of a educational journey through time and space.
The main topics are knowledge, its complexity and flow, nerdism & toursism. The schedule which is the
basis of each of our own approaches was realised at NY Public Library - "back to back", while skyping and
googledocing with Jörg. What I really like the different ways of interpreting this schedule: You'll find
many links which connect the visuals to the text, the text to the visuals, or our thoughts to your
dreams.
The visual part - silkscreen print - 3 colors:

TTC & Abel Kadar Khan:
"Tendency Tours" has its inspiration from a quot by Abdel Kadar Khan of the Novel Shantaram:
"The tendency towards complexity has carried the universe from almost perfect simplicity to the kind of complexity that we see around us, everywhere we look. The universe is always doing this. It is always moving from the simple to the complex."
