Last week we had a joint debate project with the BA Design second years. The topic my group was given was "Design Should Not Serve Industry", which went against a group with the opposite statement. We took this and focused on the argument "Design Should Not Serve Industry, it Should Lead it".
Throughout the week we designed various means of communicating and solidifying our argument. Number 1 was a propaganda flyer. Number 2 was an object that had to embody our debate. We wanted an object that would highlight how industry lead design has lulled the consumer into accepting the familiar, the mundane. It had to be something that would not only cause people to question it, but also question why they were questioning it. And it should probably be a bit gross.
So we set about dying some eggs...
Like this...
Green eggs no ham.
Wanted to see if we could create a giant egg yolk...
Just a little shout out to the New Cross Gate NHS Walk-in who were very generous in supplying us with syringes and needles for the egg dying process. Lovely people.
