The present does not exist on its own but as a result of the past (cause); that is, in a sequential context. For example, when an object moves from the left to right, the right of the 'present' can be understood as the 'left,' in the context of the past, as the position is relatively left in the present. Past+Present consists of an audience filmed real time, and a computer and controller that can display the present and past simultaneously. The images, captured with camera, display the present shape in real time. When the controller’s dial is turned leftwards, the current picture being filmed and the past, relative to the degree of the turned dial, overlaps in participator's vision. By allowing the audience to experience the present (result) and past (cause) at the same time, the project aims to provide a contextual insight of the present.
'Design made' makes differentiation from the passive exhibition culture. It will
show the new and experimental exhibition freed from the stereotypes and the
old ideas about design exhibition. Every year, nationally and internationally noted designers take part in the exhibition with young and new designers. New designs selected through the design competition will be also exhibited.
Not only through the exhibition but through other activities, public
will have a broader mind about design and a new way of looking at design by
sharing designs. The activities will allow international cultural communication
and opportunities to view the future design trends.
