Description

The question Are We Human? is both urgent and ancient. Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley offer a multilayered exploration of the intimate relationship between human and design and rethink the philosophy of design in a multi-dimensional exploration from the first actual tools and ornaments to the constant buzz of social media. The common day involves the experience of thousands of layers of design that reach to outdoor space but additionally reach deep into our bodies and brains. Even the planet itself has been completely encrusted by design as a geological layer. There’s no longer an out of doors to the world of design. Colomina’s and Wigley’s field notes offer an archaeology of the way in which design has gone viral and is now bigger than the world. They vary across the previous few hundred thousand years and the previous few seconds to scrutinize the uniquely plastic relation between brain and artifact. A vivid portrait emerges. Design is what makes the human. It becomes the way in which humans ask questions and thereby often redesign themselves.
