Who Killed Mickey (Alsace, France)
Who Killed Mickey (Alsace, France)
"Nothing is true and everything is permitted! There is no balance. Balance equals restrictions and this affects your creativity. In the end, just stay true to yourself in every way and create whatever you want."
The man who prefers to use the soubriquet Who Killed Mickey than his real name explains: "Mickey refers to Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse. For me, Mickey Mouse symbolises the corruption of the commercial world of copyrights and brands, and religion is just another brand that people want to be part of. My mission with Who Killed Mickey is to criticise big brands and religions. I want to transform their images/identities to show their true faces."

Sulaimarn Poh-Asae (Bangkok, Thailand)
"You can't put the creative scene into a frame – artists create what they want to create and hope that it is new and interesting. I don’t want to compete with other designers, I'm happy simply to admire their work. I'm just a local designer who seeks to present my ideas about the culture and what's happening in the place where I live through my works."
Eyedropper Fill (Bangkok, Thailand)
"We grew up with a series of traditions that might or might not come through in our designs, but they probably appear in our thought-processes. Generosity is one of our distinguishing traits. When the huge floods came recently, a lot of Thai designers in various fields created work to promulgate an understanding of how to handle them and relieve the situation – and it was all done on a non-profit basis."
Jorge Chamorro (Madrid, Spain)
"Sex is everywhere. It is with us all the time. We can't say goodbye to sex. Maybe for a short time, but it's always a part of us. So, if you make a collage, or indeed any kind of self-expression, I think sex will appear, more or less obviously, but it'll be there somewhere."
Whatever is required, from branding and identity to digital, editorial or environmental design – or, just as likely, an inter-disciplinary approach involving them all – Berg will tailor its approach to "work seamlessly across a wide range of media".
Chatchanok Wongvachara (Bangkok, Thailand)
"Politics and culture are closely intertwined here. Satire plays an important role. It is necessary to prevent people in the capital from becoming too pretentious and affected. I would say that the principal trait that makes Thai design stand out on the international stage is its sense of humour. Everyone loves to laugh, it makes them feel better about themselves."
"Most people don't understand why artists use sexualised imagery. They probably think we are trying to be 'shocking'. I don't really care what anyone thinks about anything I do. Except my mom."
