Projects exploring design installation as a critical and #narrative #practice for design. Physical editing is a 3rd semester project endorsing the process of thinking through making starting from 2 random words to generate outcomes. The projects produced serve as a starting point for students to initiate their final project and to construct their critical design language. Design is an inbetweener materially and conceptually connecting two distinct points in time and space.
Person uses a ‘tool’ _ chopsticks, fork, spoon, mother, machine… Person wants to eat peas every day _ cultivates _ freezes _ transports_distributes_sells/buys_cooks _ uses tool The choices of how to get from A to B (mouth to pea) every single occasion that a decision needed to be made, slowly contributed to the building of the contextual and ideological framework of the possible that has to be continuously put into question and resolved. Design as a narrative connection between two points in space and time evokes a “road movie”. Those two points are almost irrelevant, it just provides a context… our characters set themselves for whatever aleatory reason to go from A to B, the story is never about the achievement of the goal, but how that goal is achieved, it is not about the arriving but the travelling, in which way is that connection materialised… to the point that the ‘less functional’ the travel, the more interesting reality becomes…
