Adhocracy brings together an international group of designers,
practitioners, networks, and platforms responding to epochal changes and
questioning the very definition of design.
The exhibition explores a new direction in contemporary design through
twenty-five projects---presented through artifacts, objects, and films.
In the place of standardized, industrialized perfection, the exhibition
embraces imperfection as evidence of an emerging force of identity,
individuality, and nonlinearity in design. As design welcomes the new
technologies of the information age, the field itself is being reshaped.
Some have built their practice around the collaborative ideology of the
open source movement; others explore the opportunities opened up by new
low-cost fabrication technologies. Some are exploring new economic
models of production; others are challenging the established hierarchies
between designers and end-users.
