For the second poster a propaganda image of the first dictator of Korea Kim Il-Sung is used. Superimposed over the top is the title of the lecture Language is a Virus part of a famous quote by William Burroughs ‘Language is a virus from outer space’. The lecture emphasised the typographic and political work of Barnbrook.
