'better than you remember' design performance by jason miller
the 'design performances' series at design miami 2007 will feature a series of performances that will showcase
design work in progress. these events will range in style from performance art to participatory design. one of the
participating designers is jason miller, who will be performing 'better than you remember', a live design project that
will use visitor input to create a new line of furnishings. here is a detailed description of the performance.
concept: hypnotize people and ask them about their memories of furniture that at some point has meant
something to them. record the memories and then use those memories as a starting point to create something
new.
the setting and space:
the exhibition space would have two parts: an interview room and workstation. the interview room will be
constructed with an office like setting containing a couch for the subject, a chair for the hypnotist, a chair and
table for miller and his assistant. the workstation will be used for making drawings.
step 1 – the interview
the subject will sit on the couch and be hypnotized by a hypnotist. when the subject is in a hypnotized state,
we will start the interview. the goal would be to find a specific domestic object that has meaning to the
interviewee. as the interview is going on, miller and his assistant will be recording the memories that comes out.
step 2 – the drawing
after the interview, miller will generate an idea for a new piece inspired by the memories that were uncovered in
step 1. he will then make a drawing of the new jason miller-designed-customer-inspired object with his assistant.
step 3 – the final product
upon seeing the drawing of the new object the customer will then have the choice to have the concept made into
a finished product.
