British Design 1948–2012 traces those changes by exploring buildings, objects, images and ideas produced by designers and artists born, trained or based in Britain. The displays examine the shifting nature of British Design over sixty years: three galleries respectively explore the tension between tradition and modernity; the subversive impulse in British culture; and Britain’s leadership in design innovation and creativity.
The exhibition reveals how British designers have responded to economic, political and cultural forces that have fundamentally shaped how we live today. They have created some of the most inventive and striking objects, technologies and buildings of the modern world.
The work "Study for a Mirror" by rAndom International that explores the interactions between audience and object. The light painting is an ephemeral portrait - when you stand in front of it, an image of your face appears, but soon fades to be replaced by the next viewer. Unlike a conventional portrait, it doesn't capture a moment in time, but focus instead on transience.
Their work explores the conflict between reinterpreting the cold nature of digital and the often hands-on approach of analogue. Most of their work is interactive with an intense curiosity applied to experimental processes.
