Design for Debate

Très très bon article, par Paola Antonelli, comissaire design au MOMA. Référence à Anthony Dunne, designer et théoricien anglais dont j'ai parlé à l'ENST
"Design for Debate does not seek to produce immediately “useful” objects, but rather meditative, harrowing, always beautiful object-based scenarios. In an early-2008 interview, Dunne explained, “Usually, designers would make technology more user-friendly, easier to use, more attractive. But as technology is becoming more complex, and the impact it might have on our lives becomes more dramatic, designers are starting to use imaginary design products to debate and discuss future possibilities. Design in that way can facilitate a debate about whether we want these futures or not.”
