A brief discussion of a lecture philosopher Henk Oosterling recently gave at Premsela concerning the question of design as saviour of the world. The lecture in full (and in English) is available as well, I intend to read it soon. Judging from this article Oosterling makes the case for relational design (which I cannot help but read as interaction design). Something that acts locally, intermediates, blurs traditional boundaries between art, media and design and above all is concerned with the values held by the people for whom a designer creates (not with the values of the market, or of the artist himself). (In Dutch.)
