Unknown Quantities is an annual serial project from MA Culture, Criticism and Curation and MA Graphic Communication Design. The potential of Unknown Quantities as a creative experiment lies in its non-hierarchical approach to the relationship between design and intellectually driven approaches to publication. The content is a productive crossover between art and design, cultural criticism and politics. Unknown Quantities aims to be rigorously eclectic but not antiquarian; visually experimental while practically communicative; politically urgent though not expedient.
Unknown Quantities is print-led with an awareness of the potential of other platforms. The website draws on Unknown Quantities’ publication history, drawing connections between print issues while also highlighting their experimental nature.
Unknown Quantities is a collaboration between tutors and students on the MA Culture, Criticism and Curation and MA Graphic Communication Design courses at Central Saint Martins.
