Form Follows Information

The Form follows information exhibition presents a collection of creations that materialise the invisible. It includes objects whose contours are based on sociological data, scientific facts or spiritual considerations. Certain pieces are figurative, others involve more elaborate mechanisms and aim to break away from deceptive appearances to reveal other forms of reality. The age pyramid becomes a jar, a territory is deformed because of our presence, a mathematical puzzle is interpreted in three dimensions, containers invite us to meditate... By taking up abstract notions and giving them shape, design applies itself to depicting things in order to give them substance. It produces representations that enable us to see familiar things in a different light or to perceive the imperceptible. But what is the meaning of the objects made? Are they receptacles for knowledge? Do they propose aesthetic issues to think about? Do they challenge our beliefs? The exhibition proposes a diorama of objects with varying powers: research objects, objects for contemplation, objects of remembrance, objects that serve as camouflage... Without departing from its decorative or utilitarian vocation, here design will be seen to be fashioning aesthetic landscapes for thought and imagination.
