What Design Can't Do – Essays on Design and Disillusion
$24.00
The design is broken. Young and not so young designers are increasingly aware of this. Many feel helpless: they were told they had the tools to make the world a better place, but instead the world takes its toll on them. Beyond a haze of hype and bold claims lies a barren land of self-doubt and imposter syndrome. This book investigates the disillusionment that permeates design. It addresses the effects of disqualification caused by digital semi-automation, the cases of ornamental policies designed to please the museum-educational complex, the nebulous promises of design schools. While reliving historical expressions of disenchantment, Silvio Lorusso examines current memes and social media rants. To describe this daunting crisis, he crafts a new critical vocabulary for readers to draw upon. What this exhibition reveals is both troubling and refreshing: rather than producing meaningful order, design could simply be about inhabiting chaos.
