Ben suggested I get in contact with more practitioners/designers/critical thinkers to broaden my scope and expand my knowledge on existing contemporary issues.
I have already heard back from three designers and I am going to ask them to pass on their questions to their colleagues, friends and other contemporaries in order to gain as many insights as possible in a short timescale.
People I plan on contacting over the coming days to begin some dialogue:
- Zak Kyes
- Gregory Ambos
- Metahaven
- Sara De Bondt
- Abake
- Experimental Jetset
- Katherine McCoy
- Jonathan Barnbrook
- Ellen Lupton
- Linda Hutcheon
- Eric Hu
I have also decided to delve through the archives of Emigre magazine in order to find other people that I could contact in regards to my research topic. Many essays and articles from this magazine were critical of design being produced at the time (late 80s and throughout the 90s). It would be interesting to gain their insight in a contemporary context.
