Playing in the subway

Korean complaining

The design is more and more slave of style and trend, two words that have nothing in common with the high and deep message of design.
Designing is a natural and instinctive tendency to make work the things around us.
Clips and nails are high level design products born by the simple tendency of solving problems that every one has.
"Complain design" is not only the topic of a course at the design department of dongduk woman's university, it's finally the first push to design.
The instinctive design, far from boring style and trend, is first of all a complaining shout.
I pushed the students to chose a playground then to begin to complain about all, in order to try some key to produce objects or situation able to transform the complaining in design.
In the 1 minute movies that I'll post you'll see some project, some ideas, some situation, and more and more you'll have a view on the daily life, obsessions and visions of young korean women.
