Situated amongst the clean exhibition stands of New Designers the Goldsmiths Meta-Design Experience was a five day production line, where we mixed our individual interests with the public’s input to create starting points around which we will built new projects in the space. It showcased ongoing experimental design processes as opposed to static finalised objects.

Rather than displaying our work as polished, saleable outcomes we decided to use the exhibition to demonstrate our design thinking and ability to generate ideas. We wanted to celebrate our design process and show the messiness, the bad ideas, and the problems we face throughout.

Over these five days we aimed to democratise our current work; offering it up for conversation, critique and re-contextualisation. Putting it under scrutiny, allowing groups of people to unpick processes, and concepts and developing new ideas to take it further.

The event was also created by Louisa Cranmore, Eleanor Dunk, Jamie Elliott, Kat Hall, Jack Hamson, Liam Healy, Fleur Melbourn, Milan Metthey, Pablo Milara, Aisling Musgrove, Stacey Pittsillides, Steph Rodger, Dan Schoelzhorn, Tom Taylor, & Yuki Yoshida.
