The power of play

The Power of Play shows the game can be a powerful tool in design. Rebellious and unashamedly visual, this design direction sees digital distortions contrast with playful experimental processes. Experimenting with processes expresses itself in e.g. ink reacting to the environmental conditions and changing color if the air pollution is getting to high. Or experiments with living materials that lead to an uncontrolled process. Many of these realisations come into existence from the need to approach the creational process like a game. The result is directed toward coincidence or takes the micky out of the “serious” from the world of design. The Power of Play is a game and a statement. Rebellious colors and acidic accents set the tone. They are often indebted to the eighties and punk.
