In this new Bookwork publication, Silent Influencer, iconic structures, separated by thousands of years, become the symbolic controllers of our consciousness and behaviours.
'The outface of the world we all move through is the Silent Influencer, with all its surfaces and textures, that subliminally affect the way we relate to each other,' explains Willats.
Since the early 1960s Willats has positioned his pioneering practice at the intersection of art and fields such as cybernetics, advertising systems research, learning theory, communications theory, and computer technology. His ongoing Bookwork publications function as interactive, conceptual tools that investigate how people interact with their environments and one another.
