Timothy Liles's Welldesign

By Allan Chochinov - July 20, 2005

in Object Culture

This degree project intends to explore western society's current perception of illness and wellness in a context of product design. The main goals of this project are equal and presented in no particular order. The first goal is the desire to stimulate debate and conversation about health, to ask people to reevaluate their own perceptions of illness, wellness, and the way in which these assessments shape their lives. Another goal of this project is to question the role products play in the forming of these values, to ask whether or not the existence or non-existence of a product can manipulate our desires into ï¿½needs.ï¿½ Additionally, to test the extent to which a product can employ a conceptual voice most often utilized by fine art. Design concepts and prototypes of products that can illustrate these ideas and help to raise these questions were produced at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2005."

His Chuck Taylors are nice too.
