Focus
Boredom,
hurt, mischief, quarrels and disruption are repressed in today’s risk evading
and process obsessed society. This means children and adults no longer learn to
deal with taking risks and the feelings that come along with failure such as
anger, frustration, emptiness, dissension and pain. Moreover, we no longer
learn and take advantage of the liberating and creative force of these so
called ‘negative’ experiences and emotions. Our mission as designers is to turn
this around by way of an appealing set of tools. We design to challenge, infect
and liberate.
