Made Up: Design’s Fictions
Fiona Raby
MAKING UP presents Fiona Raby and Bruce Sterling, two of the world’s most influential voices at the intersection of fiction and design, joined MADE UP curator Tim Durfee to discuss tactical anachronisms, designing for ambiguous reality, and the re-emergence of speculative practice in the 21st century. Moderated by Anne Burdick, MDP Chair.
Made Up: Design’s Fictions was staged in the 3,000 square foot, 50 foot high Wind Tunnel Gallery at South Campus from January 29 - March 20, 2011. Made Up is work of major and emerging international practices that forecast, hypothesize, muse, skylark, role-play, put-on-airs, freak-out or otherwise fake-it to produce work that is relevant to our increasingly confusing and accelerated world. Selections included a self-recording, 1:1 map of questions and propositions: dreams as program; science fiction as precedent; cults of commerce; objects as ideas; truth-revealing jokes; false histories; and elaborate scenarios.
