obliquite
The first issue invites designers exploring installations, performance or games as their design medium. It questions the reasons for the choice of these mediums, their inspirations, their standpoint towards the design world. The title (Paradigm) refers to a conference of Giorgio Agamben looking at the way singular examples of practices can influence a whole disciplinary field.
This first issue invites :
Judith Seng,
Tim Miller,
Adam Nathaniel Furman,
Marguerite Humeau,

and Raphaël Pluvinage.
The second issue focuses on designer inventing, tweeking, bypassing, exploring manufacturing processes. Both digital and handmade, both conceptual or practical, the different approches are compared and put aside to get a better understanding of this movement witnessed since the past 10 years.
