Hopeful Monsters: A Workshop with BERG
A two-day brief to explore the interesting territory of how products and services are now deeply intertwingled, but from a product, form and communication standpoint rather than a service-design or problem-solving viewpoint. The workshop emphasizes the generative—looking to create “hopeful monsters”—possible product constellations in universes next door that we could take little leaps toward. It also emphasizes the politics and influence of craft and materials and how they interact with other demands of a design program. It will aim to introduce techniques and maneuvers that can create surprising and inventive outcomes.
