Description
The premise of to look "beyond the object" in order to ask what happens to the things that designers design once these objects enter the public sphere. Beyond an analysis of surface properties, how does an artifact operate culturally, socially, politically? How is it used, by whom, and toward what end? How does it gain meaning and to whom is it meaningful?
