On Saturday, December 15th in NYC, there will be an amazing event taking place through the AIGANY. Cause/Effect: Design As Change Agent boasts a stellar lineup from Phil Patton, Lisa Strausfeld, and Chris Hacker to Randy Hunt, Marc Alt and Lara McCormick. Oh, did we mention Seymour Chwast or Scott Stowell? There are a ton more--too many bold face names to choose from! Here's the pitch:
A one-day event that looks at the intersection of design and social responsibility in its current and historical contexts. When designers respond to local and global crises, design becomes their causal force and change their endgame. In this arena, good design is held to breath-takingly high standards. It is judged instantly ineffectual if it only serves as aesthetic anesthesia and fundamentally flawed if it does not garner real-time results. A wide range of creative practitioners will demonstrate how they have embraced this challenge, tackling the causality of reform in their work while keeping their formalist integrity intact. Join them for an inspiring examination of accountable design that embodies the beautiful solution, the intentionally humane and the ethically sound.
Need further convincing? Steve Heller is moderating the whole shebang.
