Humanised
Banknote is a collaborative project intending to enrich and humanise relations
between people. As human beings, we have always exchanged value with each
other. In a world dominated by capitalism, money has become the most prominent
method of doing so. We feel that this is dehumanising, and that there are ways
of exchanging value that allows more authenticity. With a diverse group of
members, we decided to look into our individual places of origin in search of
alternative currencies. Each member communicated their findings via a banknote,
with the intention being that the user can put them into their wallet, and
possibly implement some of these alternative currencies into their own life.
I come from the biggest tax haven in the world, Switzerland. I decided to research about the Swiss Banking Secrecy and ended up designing a banknote portraying the value “Secret”.The banknote humorously retraces Switzerland’s Banking Secrecy throughout history.
My banknote can be digitalised using augmented reality. Users are able to scan the note with their phone to inspect the 3D details on the note.
All the banknotes were then compiled into a collaborative leaflet named “the Whole Earth Bank”.
