Image courtesy MOMA[/caption] Design always had the capability to err on the wrong side of the tracks. Usually when we think about design it is architecture, furniture and fashion rather than weaponry and destruction that spring to mind. It has been a while since an advancement in our industry has had the ability to cause so much unrest. On one side this advancement allows people with a 3D printing machine to design and manufacture their own goods, unleashing a new wave of creative energy and product both with endless opportunity for growth . The other side of course, is the possibility for weaponry to be created without regulation. And so it is of course that New York City’s Museum of Modern Art in conjunction with the platform Design and Violence is hosting a series of industry debates on how violence manifests in design. Part 2 of the three-part series takes place on April 10 – more information can be found here. It’s a stirring thought: on which side does your coin land?
