The 2010 Saint Etienne International Design Biennale will again take over the ancient ‘Manufacture d’armes’ and the new Platine in the French city. The theme of this year’s edition will be all around Teleportation. It will deal with an extreme view of our society, a kind of ideal (or not) that we could yearn for and that could enable us to solve the many issues we are faced with nowadays. Issues related to ecological emergencies or transport demand, as well as problems resulting from the continual lack of time that puts our everyday lives under pressure. Edhv is invited to present Debug as part of the exhibition ‘Prediction’, which is curated by Benjamin Laurent. This exhibition tends to explore the various trajectories that designers follow to meet the need for anticipation.
Some of the other participants showing at this exhibition: Nelly Ben Hayoun, James Auger & Jimmy Loizeau, Bless, Christien Meindertsma, Hannes Grebin, Herman Wallas, Marloes Ten Bhomer, Noam Toran and Onkar Kular, Olafur Eliasson, Pieke Bergmans, Piet Hendrikse, Sascha Pohflepp, Sjoerd Jonkers, Geoffrey Mann – Studio Mrmann.
