Booth’s artistic research has focused on pictograms and practical semiotics linked to a fascination with trash and on what it means to be a human being with daily challenges. Booth’s point of departure is the notion that designers and creative professionals are responsible and able to bring about real change and improvement in the world through good design.

By using pictogrammatic language as a visual tool, Booth wants to investigate the classification of values in a cultural, social, philosophical, and political context, a visual assessment of what is worthless, nonsensical, or trash, and what is considered valuable and non-trash.

Booth is involved in the Pictogram-Me research project at KMD Bergen, Department of Design, funded by the Norwegian Artistic Research Programme. The research uses pictograms to encourage increased reflection on the complexity of life and highlight the experiences of people with challenging lives.

Booth is also involved in the Exit Earth and the Road Ahead project. 
In the Road Ahead project, we ask: “How can road signs use their iconic power of visual representation to interpret and warn us of the existential dangers we are driving at full speed towards?”
