Incredible Machine Exhibition - My work

Freud famously theorized that all creativity derives from the early confusion that the child experiences regarding birth and defecation so that the desire of the child to play with his own shit is postulated as the first acting out of this drive to create.

Incredible Machine - Exhibition - from 2-5th April at KC Grad, Belgrade

• Incredible machine •

The Lorem Ipsum collective and Stockholm design studio SNASK proudly present Incredible Machine, a group exhibition featuring twenty young designers from Stockholm and Belgrade, ten from each city, who will try and illustrate their creative process. The exhibition will be held at KC Grad from 2-5th April.
•••
The point of departure for this exhibition was an old computer game called Incredible Machine understood as a metaphor for the creative process. Namely, every designer manipulates numerous elements in their creative proces, ranging from purely visual to socio-cultural, and does so according to their personal predilections. The aim of this exhibition is to, as much as it is possible, lay bare the creative process and expose all aspects of the process, both personal and, to a point, varying, and societal aspects, often rigid in their nature.

This meta-design collaboration of two capitals will put designers, and even more importantly general public, into a position to reflect on the similarities, differences, and connections between these two supposedly distant urban environments.
•••
The opening is scheduled for 7 p.m.. However, people from SNASK will give a lecture titled "Enterpreneurship for creative minds” at 4 p.m. the same day. After the lecture, they will take part in a panel discussion also featuring Slavimir Stojanovic and members of Metaklinika. The designers will discuss their experiences working in Belgrade and Stockholm respectively.
•••
A grand opening party will take place after the opening, starting 10 p.m., featuring some of the finest Belgrade DJs: Schwabe, Biskoteka, Nemanja Jehlicka and Surprise Guest DJ.
