世界问题中心 (The World Question Center) 是一家成立于 2019 年的当代艺术机构。名字灵感来自于艺术家 James Lee Byers 在 1969 年的同名作品 The World Question Center。主理人认为:“任何问题都是世界的问题,任何地方都是世界与问题的中心。”

2021 年初开始,世界问题中心放弃了其位于浙江省长兴县的实体空间,转而以线上的形式存在以适应新冠疫情的到来。

设计中,我们选择衬线字体来作为 Logomark 的主体,通过多边形切割传统的英文字形借此来表达去中心,又生成新的中心的意义。多边形在词源学中的意为多角,多角度的。通过多边形的特殊性来表达对同一事物的多角度审视。在实体空间被线上形式被取缔后,原本设计中的地址变为未填写的空格。
The World Question Center established in 2018, it is a modern art institute. The name was inspired by artist James Lee Byers' 1969 work of the same name, The World Question Center. The main concept of WQC is to carry more young artists on the road to a place where nobody knows.

In 2021, the World Question Center abandoned its physical space in Changxing County, Zhejiang Province, and turned into an online presence to accommodate COVID-19.

The identity of the world question center selected serif font as the the logomark. The traditional English glyphs were cut by polygons to express the idea of decentralization and simultaneously generate a new meaning of a center. Polygon in etymology means multi-corner, multi-angle. The multi-angle view of the same thing is expressed through the particularity of polygons.  After the physical space was replaced by its online format, the address in the original design became an unfilled space.
