Krátky popis
Design has a history of violence. It can be an act of creative
destruction and a double-edged sword, and yet professional
discourse around design has been dominated by voices that only
trumpet its commercial and aesthetic successes. Violence, defined
here as the power to alter circumstances against the will of others
and to their detriment, is ubiquitous in history and in
contemporary society.In recent years, moreover, technology has
introduced new threats and added dramatically to the many
manifestations of violence. Design and Violence is an exploration
of the relationship between the two that sheds light on the complex
impact of design on the built environment and on everyday life, as
well as on the manifestations of violence in contemporary society.
Published to accompany an online experiment launched by The Museum
of Modern Art in Autumn 2013, it brings together controversial,
provocative, and compelling design projects with leading voices
from a variety of fields.Each invited author responds to one object
chosen by the curators - ranging from an AK-47 to a Euthanasia
Rollercoaster, from plastic handcuffs to the Stuxnet digital virus
- and invites dialogue, comments, reflection, and active,
occasionally fierce, debate. Examples of questions posed include:
Can we design a violent act to be more humane? How far can the
state go to `protect' its borders from immigration before it
becomes an act of violence? Is violence `male'? These experimental
and wide-ranging conversations bring together voices from the
fields of art and design, science, law, criminal justice, ethics,
finance, journalism, and social justice, making Design and Violence
an invaluable resource for lively discussions and classroom
curricula.
