The Society of the Spectacle is a society, coined by the Situationists, in which we are constantly surrounded by images, advertising, and political ideologies.

A spectacle is an event or scene regarded in terms of not just its visual, but also societal impact.

Due to the immensity of different aspects of society, such as social movements or environmental crises, the 21st century has become bombarded with various spectacles. In addition to this, the omnipresence of digitalisation has made it virtually impossible for us to escape these spectacles.

Throughout the last weeks, we have gathered spectacles in our design process to understand what the Society of the Spectacle entails. Together, they form a collective database, which is accessible by everyone. It allows for spectacles to be stolen, borrowed or combined, while also creating new inspiration and insight into today's happenings.
