Art Not Evidence hits the press

By using the concept of “redaction”, we experimented with illustrating the censorship and criminalisation of creative expression currently occurring in both US and UK courts by using an animated tape over certain words and phrases. Driftime designed and developed the full brand and website, helping to empower the movement through a recognisable identity that resonates with both legal decision makers and those in the music industry.

We worked alongside the Art Not Evidence team to learn more about the decision makers they’re trying to reach, designing a digital presence that centres an open letter addressed to the Secretary of State for Justice, calling for a change in legislation. The open letter can be signed by anyone, and has gained support from the likes of Annie Mac, IDLES, and MP Nadia Whittome, as well as being featured in a number of high profile national titles including The Guardian (opens in a new window) , The Irish Times (opens in a new window), and The Times (opens in a new window). The movement has also appeared in many respected music industry publications including NME (opens in a new window), Rolling Stone (opens in a new window), DJ Mag (opens in a new window), and Clash Magazine (opens in a new window), amongst others.
