A grid of 20 x 25 numbered points + one point out of a group, a space with hundreds of the same posters, 10 designers, 5 topics and the public.
501 PUNTI DI DESIGN, after three editions: Milan Design Week (Milan April 2005), Dinamismi Museali (Soneria Mannelli (CZ) August 2005) and ArteFiera (Bologna January 2006), goes to New York.
Ministero della Grafica, an association that promotes and supports visual communication as a strategic discipline, has involved Italian and New York graphic designers in this event, inviting them to design whatever their imagination suggests on a grid of 501 points logos, icons, writing.
The result is a combination of numbers that trace the thought images on themes of Passion, Italian Spirit, Design, Belief and Fear.
A drawing pen and a code will be the public's tools with which we will invite them to trace the hidden images between the almost infinitive possibilities offered by the 501 points on the grid, dynamically creating an exhibition of oneself.
