If postmodernism depended upon ironic distance, and Critical Design is all about questions, then emotive design runs hotter than this, confronting how designers are using feelings in what they make. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDamon Taylor's original study considers these emotionally laden, highly authored works, often produced in limited editions and sold like art - objects such as a chair made from cuddly toys, a leather sofa that resembles a cow, and a jewellery box fashioned from human hair. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTracing the phenomenon back to the 'Dutch inflection' that began with Droog designers like Jurgen Bey and Hella Jongerius, Taylor conducts an analysis of the development of Design Art and looks for its origins in the uncanny explorations of surrealism. Offering a critique of Speculative Design, and an examination of the work of designers such as Mathias Bengtsson, whose work involves 'growing' furniture inside computers, Taylor asks what happens when the tangible melts into the datascape and design becomes a question of mobilities. In this way, \u003ci\u003eMoving \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eObjects\u003c\/i\u003e examines contemporary issues of how we live with artefacts and what design can \u003ci\u003edo\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Damon Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350360007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350360006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Damon Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444559294719,"sku":"9781350360006","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73da2c4b-719e-4b11-924c-3ce73ea68373.jpg?v=1777213077","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/moving-objects-damon-taylor-9781350360006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
