Decode: Digital Design Sensations


"Decode: Digital Design Sensations showcases the latest developments in digital and interactive design, from small, screen-based, graphics to large-scale interactive installations. The exhibition includes works by established international artists and designers such as Daniel Brown, Golan Levin, Daniel Rozin, Troika and Karsten Schmidt. The exhibition features both existing works and new commissions created especially for the exhibition.

Decode is a collaboration between the V&A and onedotzero, a contemporary arts organisation operating internationally with a remit to promote innovation across all for
ms of moving image and interactive arts.

The exhibition explores three themes: Code presents pieces that use computer code to create new works and looks at how code can be programmed to create constantly fluid and ever-changing works. Interactivity looks at works that are directly influenced by the viewer. Visitors will be invited to interact with and contribute to the development of the exhibits
. Network focuses on works that comment on and utilise the digital traces left behind by everyday communications and looks at how advanced technologies and the internet have enabled new types of social interaction and mediums of self-expression."

Below are a few of my favourites from the exhibition.

Dieter Rams

Currently exhibiting at the Design Museum is 'Less and More- The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams'. I very much enjoyed this exhibition, although I wish it had been on while I was doing a project on Braun as this would have been very useful. Could have stayed much longer than I did, but went to close to closing time.

"As head of design at Braun, the German consumer electronics manufacturer, Dieter Rams emerged as one of the most influential industrial designers of the late 20th century by defining an elegant, legible, yet rigorous visual language for its products. The exhibition will showcase Rams’ landmark designs for Braun and furniture manufacturer VitsÅ“, examine how Rams’ design ethos inspired Braun’s entire product range for over 40 years, and assess his lasting influence on today’s design landscape."

cake

My days work.....
I think I need to practice my cake making skills, and also my photography skills! I don't really understand how to use my polaroid camera properly, but I quite like the outcome in a weird kinda way.
