Cringe or Cool?

Dutch Design Week

About the Show

Cringe or Cool? invited 10 artists to explore the theme of Cringe. Design functions in the chasm between the old and the new, and often follows a cyclical rhythm. We might tend to see the new as Cool and old as Cringe, but those descriptions can be reversed with equal validity.

I presented the cringe calendar and installation, designed for those who are always scrolling, making their stomachs churn, and their eyes squint...Instagram was fun, but the pendulum is seemingly shifting away from posting on the grid.
