Mariano Sidoni (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
"Personal experiences pass through illusions, limitations, frustrations, stages of shock and growth. Today I choose to work (collectively) on the Carne Hueso project, where artists, designers, photographers, musicians, etc., can give the best of themselves, with everyone seeking the same objective. From the singular to the plural."
Graphic designer Mariano Sidoni is a dreamer as well as a wizard designer who makes dreams come true for others. Eager to break down the traditional rules and concepts of digital design, he experiments with deconstruction and regeneration. His lo-tech aesthetic involves the use of a lot of glitches, creating some amazing visual landscapes and suggestive abstract pixel shapes.

IdN v18n6: Humorous Design — Design in Contempt
Who doesn't like to make people laugh? An ability to do this always adds something special to the message being conveyed, however serious its ultimate intent, and the rewards for those designers with a universal sense of humour, and technique to match, can be huge. In this issue, we have gathered together the work and words of 11 genuinely funny designers, who all have radically different approaches. If you think that you possess a prominent funny bone, their experiences may inspire you. We hope that some of them, at least, will leave you chortling or wryly smiling.

Pogo (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
"Our greatest asset is our imagination and our creativity. Even living constantly amid chaos, we never despair."
Viktor Hertz (Uppsala, Sweden)
"My Honest Logos take aim at big, well-known companies, with a tongue-in-cheek approach. They are meant to be taken lightly, although they do contain some serious criticism behind the funny surface. But it’s not an attack on them; I use many of these companies’ products and services, so I guess I’m something of a hypocrite…"
Gaby Hebstein (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
"I believe that Buenos Aires is living through one of its greatest moments. There is a huge artistic movement here. A lot of new art galleries have opened up and there seem to be design events going on everywhere. This is a new trend."
Jazmin Berakha (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
"My work explores the use of textiles in art. Embroidery is a method traditionally associated with crafts, but for me it’s a possibility to work within the context of contemporary art as well. I’ve been always obsessed with colour-printed fabrics and patterns, and I believe this is a major reference in my work."
Jonathan Gurvit (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
"I don’t think our culture is being threatened by globalisation, of which I am a big fan. It’s a powerful resource for almost everyone to increase their knowledge and their creativity and it’s good for their soul. What we have to preserve is not so much related to the characteristics of art and design, but all the things that make us unique."
Lim Heng Swee aka ilovedoodle (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
"I would describe my work as simple and fun, but with a strong idea or message behind it. Life should be fun and humourous when possible and I hope that my illustrations generate a sense of joy and happiness."
