The Thiiirds
The Thiiirds mission is to support, connect, educate, & create through:
(1) communal investigation of invisible, theoretical, & physical space &
(2) collective exploration of how design can be used as a tool for (a) societal & (b) personal development to create better futures & realities, here & now.
In the study of physics, the unsolved Theory of Everything attempts to explain how the physical realm is linked and tied together.
The Thiiirds is an exploration of a new and radical Real Theory of Everything— that design is the conductor of all things around us: the visible and invisible, the conscious and the subconscious; and moreover that nothing is random.
Victor Papanek translated design as “the conscious and intuitive effort to impose meaningful order” and as such, is the organizing principle behind every facet of our daily lives: socially, ecologically, psychologically, and thus, very personally.
The Thiiirds is an invitation for introspection. By awakening our intuition and understanding who we are on a soul level, we uncover our ability to make the changes we want in our lives on an individual and community level. We choose what standards to conform to. We choose what to actively subvert. By empowering ourselves, we can discover the ways in which we can further both society and the design discourse.
Amidst the upheaval we experienced as a collective in 2020, we must question what things do we actively conform to as individuals? What as a society are we now actively trying to subvert?
