The future is digital.
Well, we all know this but it
still comes as a jolt when confronted with some of the latest technologies used
in the creation of art.

Today the Design in Motion
exhibition, a collaboration between the V&A museum
All the designers featured
use digital technologies to push the boundaries of their discipline enabling
them to create work that is totally knew and unexpected.
One of the most innovative is
this piece by Geoffrey Mann where he has used a 3D printer to visualise the
fluttering of a moth. Mann, Director in Glass at Edinburgh College of Art, is
fascinated by the idea of transforming the ephemeral nature of time and motion
into forms that we can see using photographic and digital technologies.

For those who love playing
computer games
Strawberry Thief, based on a William
Morris fabric, offers an expressive, creative and immersive experience. Even if
you are of the generation that I am and hate the idea of computer games I must
confess that this one did offer a zen like experience, maybe because it is
designed by a young woman, Sophia George, still in her early twenties and the
first ever V& A Game Designer in Residence.
