Abstract

Three stories narrate professional and design practices that expand the Galaxy of Design, testifying to comprehensive experimental approaches, from the products produced, to the languages and techniques employed, to the themes and meanings. A studio, a scholarly research agency and a professional, who further shift and shred the boundaries of the discipline. The first is Superflux, which takes us to an experimental and speculative dimension, working on multimedia narratives in which the artifact becomes a programmatic, post-tech narrative pretext, representative of a consistently decentralized vision of man in the Planet. Forensic Architecture, which using digital technologies to analyze the built environment, places design as a methodological approach at the service of investigations of human rights violations. Finally Thomas Thwaites, for whom the project (which can be performance, device, installation or film) is always about finding answers to fundamental questions about our relationship with time, technology and nature.
