22. “Critical design is related to haute couture,
concept cars, design propaganda, and visions
of the future, but its purpose is not to present
the dreams of industry, attract new business,
anticipate new trends or test the market. Its
purpose is to stimulate discussion and debate
amongst designers, industry and the public
about the aesthetic quality of our electronically
mediated existence.”

“How can we draw together matters of concerns so as to
offer to political disputes an overview, or at least a view, of
the difficulties that will entangle us every time we must
modify the practical details of our material existence?”
