What is shock(ing) in graphic design?

Do we need shock? Is today’s graphic designer a “living-dead” practitioner? Everything is blurred and ambiguous; there isn’t anything new. Graphic design inhabits a spiral of inconsequent revivalism, of a parasitical living, where shock, either doesn’t exist, doesn’t work or is simply prevented from happening.

3 parallel perspectives on what is shock in graphic design and its current state.
