AIGA/NY @ PARSONS LECTURE SERIES THE NEW FUTURE OF DESIGN
You’re invited to a discussion featuring summer faculty emeritus Zach Lieberman, Artist in Residence James Bridle, and faculty member Carla Diana, in an AIGA/NY panel moderated by Liz Danzico.
What does design look like in the future? The outcomes that once defined us (print, branding, packaging…etc.) have expanded in the digital age, to include web, motion, UX and a growing list of others. But what happens when technology moves beyond the screen to merge with the physical world? What happens when our tools grow to include not just computers, but 3-D printing, open-source engineering and everything else? Join us as we meet a few of the talented designers who offer a glimpse into this future, revealing the possibilities of tomorrow’s designer.

On December 12th at Parsons, we’ll hear from Zach Lieberman, who created a font with a car, invented a way for paralyzed artists to draw using their eye movements—and created a way for that art to live in the physical world. We’ll meet James Bridle, who mapped a neighborhood using balloons, illustrated military drones in a surprising way, and coined the term ‘The New Aesthetic’—describing the visual language of our merging digital and physical space. Carla Diana—who designs domestic robots, sentient kitchen appliances and most-anything that intersects the physical and digital spaces—will reveal how she tries to live as close to the near future as possible.
The evening will be moderated by Liz Danzico, who—through her work—and as chair and co-founder of MFA Interaction Design at the School of Visual Arts, leads a new generation of designers to the future possibilities of our field.
