OFFF, Year Zero: Artwork and Designs from the OFFF Festival

More than a decade ago, OFFF was born as a post-digital culture festival, featuring some of the world’s most relevant contemporary artists, designers and media mavens. Since then, it has become a way to understand art, culture and our constantly evolving way of life. This year, the festival embraced its return to Barcelona, celebrating “Year Zero” by forgetting its illustrious past in order to re-invent itself.

As is the case every year, OFFF produces a sumptuous book that serves as the festival catalog and an invaluable resource for anyone that wants to know about the bleeding edge of visual culture. OFFF, Year Zero, published by Mark Batty Publisher, comprises artwork and essays created specifically for the festival, as well as an exclusive DVD. Every page is die-cut, so the artworks can be hung on the walls of homes and studios. The list of contributing artists and designers includes Stefan Sagmeister, Rick Poyner, Erik Spiekermann, Keetra Dean Dixon and Vimeo founder Blake Whitman.

To give you a sense of the scope of the event, below are all the guest artist contributions.
