Uncorporate Identity is an anthology of Metahaven projects, ideas and models. A science fiction book about design, it describes corporate identity beyond certainty, entwined with politics, speculation and information networks. Carved out from the multipolar geopolitical spaces of the early 21st century and the paradoxical leftovers and peripheries of ancient regimes and ruined ideologies, Uncorporate Identity is at once an artistic manifesto for design under globalization and a workbook of essays, narratives and truisms investigating the ambiguous state of identity and branding today.
Authored by Metahaven, a design and research think tank consisting of Daniel van der Velden, Vinca Kruk and Gon Zifroni, Uncorporate Identity is edited by Marina Vishmidt and has contributions by, and collaborations with Dieter Lesage, Chantal Mouffe, Regula Stämpfli, David Singh Grewal, Michael Taussig, Mihnea Mircan, Keller Easterling, Florian Schneider, China Miéville, Vladimir Kolossov, Boris Groys, Pier Vittorio Aureli, Sean Hastings, and many others.
