ACCORDING to Honningbarna, one of our generation´s biggest challenge is noise through overwhelming amounts of information. The information bombardment the internet generation experience is unparalleled in history. As everybody´s now their own editors on social media, blogs and internet in general, the stream of information has been impossible to filtrate, and is therefore reduced to noise. The noise becomes impossible to decipher, and reflection and critical thought are the casualties.
THERE´S A GENERATION FULL OF YOUNG, FRUSTRATED, ANGRY AND CONFUSED PEOPLE WE WISH TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF.
EDVARD VALBERG
IN 1967, french writer Guy Debord, said that authentic social life has been replaced by representation. Today, this feels more relevant than ever. Social relations between people is distorted by information noise. Debord notes that quality of life is impoverished, with such lack of authenticity, human perceptions are affected, and there's also a degradation of knowledge, with the hindering of critical thought.
DEBORD suggested to wake up the people through radical actions. We were inspired by these thoughts and aspired to make a sleeve design where the radical action would be the destruction of the design. Honouring the classic punk aesthetics, we sealed every copy of the LP with a collage made up of noise(ads, magazines, posters). To access the music, the fans would have to tear off and destroy the noise. Each of the 500 copies of the LP is created by hand by Anti and the band members. In addition to the LPs, 500 USB-versions were made. These were steel USB-sticks moulded into a plaster disc which were covered with a similar colage. To get your hands on the music, you would have to smash the disc into the ground.
