Inkubate Ideas

During my reserach into art & design I have looked at many fine art projects that are also intended to engage the public and convey messages of some kind. I came up with the thought that in some way products could be seen in this way too. These items ultimately end up in the hands of the user who often admires or observes every little detail – a kind of almost ultimate connection into someones life. Texture, colour weight, words, shape are all felt in some way.

Of course there are issues of descrimination wherby someone may not be able to afford a product, but I would also be thinking along the lines of free useful things. Artists often offer free postcards etc at exhibitions – but what about free items to ‘engage a person’ given away anywhere, anytime?

Definately one I will be looking deeper into, researching and seeing where it leads.
