“It is not about the world of design. It is about the design of the world.”
-Bruce Mau
This fall, the Massive Change exhibit debuted at the Vancouver Art Gallery. In trying to answer the question “Now that we have the ability to do anything, what will we do?”, a team of designers under the guidance of Bruce Mau set about not just to warn us about the critical condition of the world today, but to demonstrate how we have the resources and technology to save ourselves. It is not so much a utopian vision of the future as it is simply an optimistic and very practical one. Basically, these things have to start to happen if we want to survive.

But it does require a massive change in the way that the general population interacts with the world around them. Social Responsibility may be the buzzword of the 21st century but until there is some substance behind this concept, we will not move forward.
