Reviving objects refers to exploring ways in which our artifacts participate in the changeability of nature and re-enter the living realm. It is an invitation to let go of attempting to make things that ‘stop’, but rather things that grow, change and react to diverse phenomena through their life span.
This strategy is explored by designing objects that react to and/or are nourished by the natural or man-made occurrence in their surroundings.
Moreover, it promotes the design of objects that change through their life-span according to the changing needs of the user and/or changes in technology, lifestyle etc.
An inherent part of this strategy is the invitation to explore ways of embodying the concept of ‘closing the loop’, thus promoting the re-design of products and processes into self-nourishing cyclical flows of organic or technical materials.
