Adhocracy. 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. “Adhocracy,” 2013. Exhibition view: New Museum. In the last few years, exponential technologies have substantially transformed how we work, communicate, and relate. “Adhocracy” acknowledges that the world of people who make things is in upheaval.
