WE DESIGNERS,
NEW GIFT MAKERS




(2019)


Based on conceptual artist Abraham Burickson's TED Talk, I understood his message to be that "to design something is to create an experience." Therefore, he emphasized that designers should be "experience makers" who enhance people's relationships and create meaningful experiences. He referred to these experiences as "gifts." I titled the exhibition "We Designers, New Gift Makers" and created a gift box composed of four unique shapes that represent people's diverse experiences. This idea was inspired by the empty box in <The Little Prince>.

The goal of this exhibition is to convey Abraham's philosophy that designers are "gift makers." The book <The Little Prince> by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is full of imaginative experiences, which inspired us to create an AR poster that will bring unexpected joy to the audience. The four posters represent four different joyful and imaginative universes of the mind.
