 ![](https://m.stacker.news/119442) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119443) Bringing two concepts we usually regard as antithetical, visual designer Carlo Bramanti examines how design and conspiracy theory intersect in their practices and output. Design is generally perceived as a discipline that makes the complex intelligible; it illustrates reliable facts and streamlines information. Conspiracy theories, on the other hand, stretch facts to their most grotesque limits; they create chaos and confusion. And yet, for Bramanti, both attempt to address the same human aspiration for meaning and order. Design (in particular information design) and conspiracy theory, he says, share a tendency to think in terms of large-scale systems. They both look for strong and seductive narratives that will reveal “the bigger picture”. Designers process vast amounts of information and synthesise them in an engaging way. To do so, they look for patterns and new connections, which makes them vulnerable to conspiracy. But while design strives to “raise awareness”, conspiracy theory talks about “awakening”. Bramanti finds the connections between design and conspiracy theory so compelling that he coined a term for the common ground that they share: Conspiratorial Design. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119444) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119445)
