Green=Boom 21 April 2011

D*W*F*E are an experimental design syndicate founded by: Jimmy Loizeau, Laura Potter, and Matt Ward, their nomadic practice explores how “artefacts, systems and material cultural can offer some degree of relief from the emptiness of contemporary living”. Green=Boom is the first in a series of events, interventions and speculations. It kicks off next Monday at Shopwork. D*W*F*E do ‘made thought’, they make ‘epistemological objects’ (processes and systems too), then couple them to particular circuits. The Peckham installation presents the notion of ‘recreational bombs’ and invites members of the public to come and play. The classic formulae of design-as-answer is inverted and D*W*F*E set about curating patterns, clusters and networks. They pose questions. This is what I love about their method and practice, it’s a “schizo flux” aimed at achieving a design of derailment. Go experience Design=Boom and look out for future projects. There is a particularly amazing one that parasites the Eiffel Tower. More soon…
