London Design Festival highlights
Tom Drysdale's 'Creativity Machine' from Designers in Residence (scroll down)
This year’s crop of handpicked graduates, each given an area of the Design Museum’s ground floor to fill, created various installations based around collecting and collections. Concepts were, in most cases, more intriguing than the designs were appealing, but what was interesting was how each of the designers veered either towards craft or technology in their interpretation. Perhaps this was nothing more than a reflection of their respective training, but together highlighted the disparity between design in the past and what design might be like in the future. Highlights are Tom Drysdale’s Creativity Machine - a curious Victorian contraption, which, with the power of simple decisions brings designs to life; and Adrian Westaway & Ben Storan’s ‘Meme’, a spinning wire with a weight that drops according to the emotional state of the person sat beneath it. http://www.designmuseum.org
