#ben hooker

Designer and Educator Ben Hooker gave a talk about his work last night. He focussed on two pieces of unfinished work, each of which he referred to as “a project to find a project”, an interesting way of producing work that seems to create worthwhile, iterative outcomes. He did, however, express a desire for a project such as “designing a shopping bag” to have a concrete outcome for his work, outlining the facets of his working process as taking this form:

Conceptual <--> Experimental <--> Applied

Whereby each type of work could spin work of one of the other types.
