Design in no way you ever imagined it
Last Thursday, Tucker and I visited the Vancouver Art Gallery to see Massive Change, an exhibit that pushes the limits of what we consider to be "design."
The interactive and multisensorial exhibit explores many aspects of our every-day lives that Bruce Mau (famous designer) categorizes as design. Forget the funky living room chair and think highrises, Segways, GMOs, military equipment, and Aerogel. Look at what surrounds us and think how quickly technology is evolving and changing how we live and see the world.
Massive Change is also a movement (called The Future of Global Design) and you can read more about it on their web site.
For a good dose of reality, I recommend filling in the information to calculate your footprint. Your footprint is how much productive land and water is required to sustain your lifestyle. The result will shock you, guaranteed. The quiz also recommends ways to reduce your footprint and tells you how many Earths we would need if everyone in the world lived like you!
