Designing Through The Wall: CYAN in the 1990s: Founded by Detlef Fiedler and Daniela Haufe in 1992, CYAN is a graphic design collective that emerged out of East Germany soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall. At the same time around the world, access to personal computers expanded exponentially. This unique moment in history allowed them unprecedented freedom of design. No longer did they have to pass through Communist state censors or rely on third parties during pre-production. CYAN represents a dichotomy of values borne from a complicated relationship between East and West, capitalism and socialism, tradition and innovation. Despite their avant-garde nature, CYAN’s design aesthetic can be seen as a culmination of German art history. Their desire to constantly experiment with new technology while also creating high-quality compositions within limited means follows the traditions of the Bauhaus, while their obsession with the precision of their lithography hearkens back to a rich history of Germanic printmaking beginning in the Medieval period.
