BEYOND CONSUMPTION

Which ideas and creations reflect today consumer's needs and aspirations?
Do we really understand the experiences that enact the consumption of culture, design, cinema, music, food or architecture?
Do we reflect upon the possibilities and problems presented by those experiences?
How can one go further with the idea of consumption?
How far do designers and creators integrate these questions in their practices?
What about users? Are they conscious of these topics?

ExperimentaDesign 2003 will produce answers to these questions with a large set of first-hand productions that include exhibitions, events, debates and other intervention in the city of Lisbon.
