'objets sensibles'




the 'recherche futur' exhibit illustrates researches
done by leading brands and design agencies through
concept products in the field of home economics and
technology.
whirlpool , trium, philips , thomson multimédia , ideo .
through those products, it is possible to evaluate the
boundaries of feasibility on a technical and formal
standpoint, to open new fields of investigation and to
anticipate future behaviors and the needs of tomorrow's
consumers.
one explored the show by means of a linear presentation
of perspex showcases and a video presentation for each
company.
in the background, six films were shown continuously
on a gigantic wall.

central show of the 'recherche-futur' was
'objets sensibles' curated by chantal hamaide,
editor-in-chief of the french magazine 'intramuros'.

mike-hat, computer-scarf, musical mittens…
objects become intelligent.
sensitive objects that announce a scheduled
change that prefigures new scenarios of urban life.
