Touch Base, a Design Academy Eindhoven exhibition curated by Ilse Crawford and the Academy’s creative director Thomas Widdershoven, explores the power of tactility in human life.

Touch Base explores the counter-movement that many of the DAE students are shaping in response to the empowering, but overwhelming presence of technology and digitalism.

To touch is to feel physically and sense emotionally.

Design Academy Eindhoven presented “Eat Shit” at the Salone del Mobile – the first exhibition of the new department Food Non Food, directed by Marije Vogelzang

‘Eat Shit’ is a definition of the human condition. You eat, you shit, you eat, you shit, and then you die.

Food is life. Input leads to output. So it makes sense to also examine one of foods stinkiest consequences – shit and waste.

Shit is your print-out, the great revealer of a person’s health and culture.
