Moto Showroom: The Return of Desire
Moto Showroom: The Return of Desire
MOTO Showroom: the return of desire is an adventure emerging from a dialogue between desire and design. Conceived through the exploration of a design methodology MOTO Showroom attempted to construct the world of the artist/designer’s practice. A strategic organisation of ideas on gender and design are woven though a schema of works transfixed on the image of the motorbike and notion of the artist/designer as ‘racer’. MOTO Showroom embraced the expressive capacities of digital technologies in order to conjoin the modes of art and design practice and reveal design process within a fantastical narrative.
