What art have I seen? London Design Biennial
Comments made to friends in a group chat when asked what we were doing in London
So we’re in the London Design Biennial which is gougingly expensive to get into and not all that…
Hoping for really good examples of design thinking but actually either over-explaining on lots of text boards or mostly showy without substance.
Polish display on how to recycle window units for Ukraine was on point.
Taiwan display was really a political promo for Taiwan, small, large, clever, diverse, etc.
The USA display juxtaposed photos of national parks with vr renditions from pokemon (?) They made a book, claiming it’s the first of its kind, which you could look at thru your phone. The National Park image would then appear as the other one and vice versa… My explanation has lost interest in itself… 😂 🤣 😂

Displays like this one are practically the only way Taiwan can make itself visible to the world since they are not recognized as a country by international organizations. China intimidates most countries so they do not allow Taiwan to represent itself as the independent country it has been in reality for many years. So that is why Taiwan uses opportunities like this one for promoting Taiwan as well as good design.
