Carte Hyperlocal by Collettivo AAA & Zero (ill. Stefano Romano)

[Translated:] A few months ago @aaa.design.milano asked me to tell Milan through a deck of scrap cards. Inspired by the HYPERLOCAL project of @zero.eu this deck was born that tells the story through the 4 districts of Milan, Bovisa, Navigli, Chinatown and Porta Venice.

Very cool drawings! I just wish this had more of a playing card vibe.

Cool art for sure and the deck follows playing cards conventions but it indeed - at least for me - opens the question of it still being playing cards or not.

And dumplings suit is hands down the best, haha.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

These are based on Italian cards which don't usually have indices - is that what y'all mean by "not playing cards"?
