Designs for a World of Many Worlds

by Dunne & Rabby | Designed Realities Studio

Designs for a World of Many Worlds: After the Festival depicts the imagined artefacts of a fictional festival celebrating a shift in the collective mindset of human beings. Moving away from a human-centric viewpoint, it is imagined by designers Dunne & Raby that humanity could come to understand its place in a multi-species reality, where each organism perceives and experiences their shared environments from a unique sensory perspective. Accompanying the totems and mementos, which illustrate how human-produced sound, fragrance and matter is experienced by other species, a festival costume, including a hat, shoes, glove and rucksack, suggests the celebratory garments of another time and place. Designs for a World of Many Worlds: After the Festival asks humans to imagine how they impact the worlds of other species and how their presence is perceived and spatialised.
