Cultuur & techniek

Joost Swarte’s single-issue comic Cultuur & techniek (1990–present, De Harmonie; Het Raadsel) is a concise, witty exploration of the intersection between culture and technology, rendered in Swarte’s signature clean ligne claire style. Published by De Harmonie as part of their Het Raadsel series, this standalone work showcases Swarte’s dual role as both writer and artist, distilling his sharp observations into a tight, visually engaging narrative. It matters as a compact example of Swarte’s intellectual humor and his ability to pack complex ideas into a deceptively simple comic format.
