Unlearning the Visuals

Unrearning the Visuals - WOW 25th Anniversary Exhibition
Scroll

An exhibition celebrating 25 years of the studio

"Unlearning the Visuals"

During the 25 years since the establishment of Visual Design Studio WOW, we have consistently sought to expand our field of activities, based on a concept of tangible and intangible visuals being the focus of all visual design. This new exhibition, held to mark our 25th anniversary is not being planned as a retrospective of past works, but rather as a springboard to new challenges, looking ahead to our next landmark 30th anniversary.

Unlearn visual design

By “unlearn” we mean unraveling the things that we have learned to date, through both thought processes and with our bare hands, to then reacquire them as a new and visceral part of our being. WOW, which has continually opened up new horizons in visual expression, will step up to the challenge of acquiring new forms of expressive power, all the while nourished by the skills and sensitivities we have believed in and nurtured until now. The driving creative force behind this exhibition is the up-and-coming creators who will take WOW forward to the next generation. Equipped with outstanding technical and expressive skills they are creating an exhibition suitable for the next generation. Visitors will be able to take the plunge into new frontiers of visual experiences that draw on 25 years of creativity, while looking to the future.
