 SEE Bulletin: Issue 2Design Wales released the second issue of the SEE bulletin.The SEE bulletin is the only publication entirely dedicated to exploring matters related to design policies and programmes for design support. In this issue, the research paper is a contribution from Hong Kong by Professor John Heskett. "Aspects of Design Policy in History" traces the evolution of policy from images of identity to economic intervention across ancient civilisations, political regimes to present-day economic doctrines. The article "From 2009 to 2010: EU and Regional Design Policy Developments" is a review of the current state of play in the EU and regional design policy debate, a continuation from the article published in the previous SEE bulletin. The bulletin also explores the imperative of modernising policy-making through comparing two different approaches to drafting policy in the US and Denmark. more SEE Bulletin: Issue 2 design directory Design Wales > Design Organizations added by Levent OZLER |
 Action! Design over TimeThe Museum of Modern Art announced Action! Design over Time, a new installation of the contemporary section of The Philip Johnson Architecture and Design Galleries, beginning on February 5, 2010.Organized by Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator, and Patricia Juncosa-Vecchierini and Kate Carmody, Curatorial Assistants, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art, the installation brings together some 85 examples from the collection that reveal the dynamic and evolving nature of objects, providing a deeper understanding of contemporary design. Objects are not still, and yet design is often appreciated in terms of its static presence - both aesthetic and functional - in any given instant, without much consideration of the process of its making, trajectory in time, life cycle, or relationship with people. Some of the objects in the exhibition embody frozen moments in time, whether crafted by hand (like Ingo Maurer's Porca Miseria! Chandelier (1994), which is made of broken dishes) or crystallized by a computer using a digital manufacturing machine (as with Ammar Eloueini's CoReFab chair from 2006). Instead of a single moment, other featured objects capture entire life cycles: Christien Meindertsma's book PIG 05049 (2004-06) tracks all 185 products made from a single pig, while Michele Gauler's Digital Remains (2006) comprises urns containing the images, music, and documents from dead friends' and relatives' computers. event ends Mar 31, 2010 United States view on map more design events more Action!

 iPhone BirdBox Alarm ClockLuckybite (Durrell Bishop and Tom Hulbert) have developed a quirky new idea that mixes the iPhone with physical things - an App, but not as we know it.It's a physical bird box that turns an iPhone or iPod Touch into a nesting-box cuckoo alarm clock. Touching the clock face reveals the interior of the birdbox, whilst the alarm gently wakens you with the sound and sight of the nesting birds. The BirdBox app is free and is on the App Store. more www.luc... (35) added by Levent OZLER |
