Design Goes Violent

Currently on show at RMIT"S Design Hub in Melbourne is American architect/designer Adam Kalkin's Remote Controlled Terrorist Coffin and a public program covering the intersection of war and design/art/sound. The 'coffin' is a death toy as such, concealing an array of weapons (drones, missiles). See it in action below .

The curatorial premise of the exhibition is the same as MoMA's online exhibition 'Design and Violence': that design can be morally ambiguous and problematic. It's a move away from seeing the medium purely as aesthetic functional objects. 

'Design and Violence' includes both objects produced for the artistic realm (Menstruation Machine) and the non-art intended (the 3D printed gun). A curatorial blurb accompanies each work in addition to a piece of writing by someone outside the art world with their take on the object in question. 

Challenging, unsettling and not exactly a soothing gallery experience.
