For some, the 21st century presents a host of opportunities, the possibility to achieve your utmost desires never far away. They see a time of immense freedom and choice – access is taken for granted. For others, the picture is quite different. A world littered with obstacles, the abuse of basic human rights commonplace, access to even the most basic of needs limited. For them exclusivity rules, and inclusive society remains a distant pipe-dream.
Crossfields Issue 1: Access asks a selection of designers, artists and writers to share their interpretations of access in modern times, exploring the possibilities (and the lack of) in the 21st century. Access covers a broad spectrum of areas, from legibility to conspiracy. Designers and artists featured include: Graphic Thought Facility, Why Not Associates, The Designers Republic, Quentin Newark, Jonathan Ellery, Paul Davis, Kessels Kramer and many more.
A valuable contribution to debates regarding accessibility, inclusive design and image-making, Crossfields is an essential read for designers, design students, photographers and anyone with an interest in notions of access in modern times.
