Viktor Hertz

A puritan in symbols, signs and visual communication, Hertz is honest and direct. This shows through in his work, but I love the use of humour when his work appears so clinical.
Its the bout of dry cynicism that appeals to me, being someone who dislikes social networking sites - yet understand the want for them - and generally hates the consumer culture we have built.

Above all it is his clarity in understanding that the medium is the message that underpins his work, with some informative overtones inclusive.
