The Future is Here
Local makers and thinkers team up for this exhibition straight from London's Design Museum.
Overview
Straight from the Design Museum in London, this new exhibition at the RMIT Design Hub is definitely one to get you thinking. Interrogating our changing relationship with manufacturing and production, The Future is Here is about to take a diverse look at the new technologies that are coming to shape us. Exploring 3D printing, nanotechnology and digitally networked marketplaces, the thinkers and makers behind the works on show make their case for an exciting future that's unfolding right in front of us.
From August 28 until October 11, the RMIT Design Hub will be showcasing the works of local design research projects and work from the original exhibition in London. Alisa Andrasek's noteworthy project 'Bloom' will also be on display. Seen in London during the 2012 Olympics, this "urban toy" and "collective gardening experience" that looks like a giant pink feather boa asks audiences to mould, shape and build different formations from the separate hot pink elements of the structure. By asking people to interact with the object, 'Bloom' demonstrates a new method for production — one that is crowd-sourced and unpredictable.
