Société Réalist and Marko Stamenkovic, independent curator and writer, proposed to present the TRANSITIONERS' 2008 Political Trend Collection module in your-space from May 8th to May 25th, 2008, in Eindhoven. Simultaneous, they proposed a conference on ideology and design. your-space accepted to debate design and ideology, in regard of the design sphere within Eindhoven, and asked some designers from Eindhoven whom work with ideology internationally to step in the arena.

RANSITIONERS is a trend design agency, specialized in political transitions. Transposing the principles of prospective design, generally used by professionals in the field of fashion, to the field of politics, Société Réaliste questions the revolution as a central category for contemporary Western society. How can a "democratic transition" be produced? What is the role of design in the permanent conversion of political flux into mythology? How can the effect of an event on citizens be transformed into a controlled affect?

Depending on present atmosphere, TRANSITIONERS defines the general climate, in which future social transformation movements will take place, in order to maximize their efficiency. By examining the evolution of revolution as a form, the project offers visual and semantic tools ready to be used by whoever wishes to: logotypes, color charts, lexical fields, etc.
