Critical Design

The exhibition Designing Critical Design in Z33  (Hasselt, Belgium) gives an excellent overview of the works by Jurgen Bey, Martí Guixé and Anthony Dunne & Fiona Raby. Jb_tablehome
They all produce works that question the designed surrounding and modern society.Their experimental and hypothetical concepts make one reflect on the role of technology and design in our daily lives.
