Design Noir / Presentation

Tom Jenkins and I have been talking a lot about Dunne and Raby’s design noir and Wodiczko’s objects as critical designs. We gave a presentation on Monday that outlined a lot of our thoughts on the topic, available here.

Projects mentioned during the presentation:
Dunne and Raby’s Placebo Project:
