It has been almost 2 months after EYEO2012 festival<\/a>. My mind is still fascinated by the brilliant speakers and talented attendees that I met on this conference. Definitely a mind-blowing experience. As EYEO organizers start to post recordings online(thanks! you were a wonderful host), I got sometime to revisit those great talks and share my favorite ones with you.<\/p>\n

1. Paola Antonelli<\/a>, Designer on Top
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the opening keynote of EYEO, Paola Antonelli, senior curator at MoMA, presented her slogan “Designer on Top”. She showed a number of great examples, mostly from exhibit “Talk to Me”,\u00a0 to demonstrate how contemporary design has evolved along with time.<\/p>\n

Generally in Paola’s opinions, today’s contemporary design is more critical than affirmative.\u00a0It’s conceptual and visionary. It often asks questions to make us think instead of providing solutions. It’s targeting citizens rather than consumers. It’s more often used as a political tool, in the service of society rather than industry. As I’ve always been working on consumer-focus product design, Paola’s insightful viewpoints and magnificent contemporary design works totally provided me with another perspective to think about the world of design.<\/p>\n
