Monday 4/9 UGLYCUTE

September 4, 2006 at 6:50 pm (KKD2, Uncategorized)

Today the lecture was about objects called uglycute. Their ideas were simple and about criticising the general idea that some things are more beautiful than others. They work through workshops and different exhibitions throughout the world. Their main concept is to use simple materials in minimalistic designs. I thought it it to be a very clever idea even though it didn’t really match my own opinion about what is interesting. I like when things have clever little things to them and are colourful instead of being as simple as possible. i definitely agree on their opinion of criticising the common thoughts about good and bad design.

We we’re also asked to join then in a workshop and create something low-tech, surprising and helpful in our future profession. I was surprised to find that we only had an hour of lectures and would like to see more hours put into this or at least to be given something to read for inspiration. Some new titles to discover. But all in all it’s been a good day and the lecture was a good one. I look forward to seeing the different ideas tomorrow.
