Rushing through Ginza I found some time to look at the current exhibition at the Ginza Graphic Gallery (GGG): Masahiko Sato’s Laboratory Exhibition. Some very nice esthetics, analytic views, experiments with typography, 3D and animation.
Masahiko Sato’s overall handmade&workshop feel was very pleasing: him and his students put a lot of devotion and dedication to slicing up a toy pig to then re-create it using sugar-cubes for “digital imagination”, or filming through a slit in a black paper, and then cutting&pasting the little stripe-image to form an image that incorporates motion.
Masahiko Sato built a very charming “Pythagoras switch”- an installation to demonstrate a chain reaction, that unfortunately couldn’t be played with. Overall, I enjoyed the esthetics of the displays but somehow…I couldn’t help feel like I was wandering round a physics fair as opposed to an exhibition…

So “improvement” does not necessarily mean “make it look all futuristic and cool ooh this would look great in my new hover car”. However, the rash of designers setting out to improve the design of the humble clothes hanger are actually managing to combine some pleasing designs with a marked improvement in the actual functionality of the design, too. Well, most are.
