Maurice uses the traditional format of the press conference to serve as context for a digital visualization of how power corrupts. As time progresses an official press conference spirals into madness, visualizing a descent into tyranny: an event that is rarely televised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Democracy Dies in Darkness - One Minute\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UcIZMGIv42k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of democratic backsliding refers to the erosion of democratic values, institutions and processes over time, often due to the influence of authoritarian leaders. This can take the form of an erosion of civil liberties, such as the right to free speech and assembly, the weakening of independent institutions, and the undermining of democracy through the manipulation of elections. Maurice van Schendel&#8217;s project, &#8220;Democracy Dies in Darkness&#8221;, uses the traditional format of the press conference to serve as context for a digital visualization of how power corrupts. As time progresses, an official press conference spirals into madness, visualizing a descent into tyranny: an event that is rarely televised. This project serves as a powerful reminder of the dangers of democratic backsliding, and the importance of protecting democratic values, institutions and processes from authoritarian leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull\" style=\"min-height:333px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-0 has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-14\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mauricevanschendel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pavillion-Space-render-HQ-2-scaled.jpeg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mauricevanschendel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pavillion-Space-render-HQ-2-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/mauricevanschendel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pavillion-Space-render-HQ-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mauricevanschendel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pavillion-Space-render-HQ-2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mauricevanschendel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pavillion-Space-render-HQ-2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mauricevanschendel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pavillion-Space-render-HQ-2-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mauricevanschendel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pavillion-Space-render-HQ-2-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Designing the Garments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used patterns I collected from various vintage pattern guides, which I traced using photoshop and redesigned into the layouts pictured below.
