Censurativa is an interactive typographic experiment exploring the impact of censorship on creative practices in Brazil from 1964 to 1985 during the country's dictatorial regime. By installing this extension, a self-censoring font will redact all content across the web (even what you type!), based on a database of censored keywords curated for this project.
This critical design practice is based on the emerging field of design activism and is part of Crystian Cruz's PhD research at the University of Newcastle, Australia. This project explores the potentiality of visual narratives as a medium to provoke debates regarding the consequences of censorship.
The database of censored keywords was sourced from more than 15,000 censorial documents available at the Brazilian National Archive and private collections of publishing houses. The censored terms are currently available in English and Portuguese. To find more about the censored terms and their origins, please visit www.censurativa.org and our social media accounts @censurativa
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
