Résumé : |
The Designers in Residence programme at the Design Museum is a core part of the museum's activity, supporting emerging designers, from any discipline, with time and space away from their regular environment to reflect, research and consider new ways of developing their practice.
This year's designers were encouraged to interpret the theme Cosmic as openly as possible.
The growing ambition to reach Mars – explored in the Design Museum's Moving to Mars exhibition - has opened a debate about the human colonisation of untouched planets. This cosmic scale of activity brings design into contact with science, ecology and the supernatural, and raises questions about what it means to be human.
Today designers are engaged in shaping life at every scale, from the micro to the macro. At one end of the spectrum, they use gene editing software and synthetic biology to develop biological parts and systems. At the other end, designers are working with scientists to address planetary scale problems, such as designing for the Anthropocene. As we become more aware of the indelible impact of humans on earth and the cataclysmic effects of climate change, we are also accelerating into space exploration.
What could we learn from the rigours of surviving in an inhospitable environment like Mars, that might inform living sustainably on Earth in the future? The museum’s Moving to Mars exhibition demonstrates that designers are actively questioning the means by which these planetary and interplanetary issues are identified and addressed. In recognition of this, the Design Museum chose ‘Cosmic’ as the theme for the 2019 Designers in Residence programme. |
