Pandaemonium – The Devil
“Spanked along the road to Liverpool, it is quite a just remark that the Devil, if he travelled, would go by train.” – The Devil – 215
‘Pandaeonium’ by Humphrey Jennings is a collection of texts describing how the Industrial Revolution transformed British society and imagination, by compiling a variety of the publics accounts. In responding to a process lead brief contained within the Caseroom, I was able to explore these themes and accounts with techniques from this time period. This particular account sparked ideas to visually depict how although the Industrial Revolution brought an abundance of technological advancements, some were rushed or unrefined, leading to varied responses to the revolution. Creating a substantial amount of train tickets with individually layered letterpress arrangements, I was able to touch on the idea of a journey through a satirical lens.
