Design as Obsession
The intersection of design and documentation

Daniel Eatock's interests lie in the connections between image and language, titles, punch lines, miscommunication, subversions, open systems, contributions from others, seriality, collections, discovery, and inventing (as well as other small things that usually go unnoticed). A young British designer and artist, he is described by Steven Heller as "an obsessive design documentarian." A graduate of Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication and the Royal College of Art, his independent art and design studio Eatock Ltd. focuses on both self-initiated art projects and commissioned design work. These range from simply collecting his own fingernail clippings to the 2005 creation of the no-frills "Indexhibit," a free downloadable content management system.

His first monograph, Daniel Eatock Imprint, has just been published by Princeton Architectural Press. Constantly oscillating between art and graphic design, each copy individually marked with his own thumbprint, this book is full of Eatock’s astute observations and eccentric obsessions.
