design X: critical reflections was an exhibition, CD ROM, and mini conference.  It includes time-based interactive media and computer-network interfaces that use new dimensions of sound, motion, time and virtual space. Design can emerge as a quintessential profession of the twenty first century, combining commercial imperatives with a process of cultural interpretation that uses text, pictures, symbols and technologies. The result design as a synthesis of art and technology that reshapes the context of social interaction.The focus of the exhibition and publication takes on the perspective of contemporary design issues including the far-reaching impact of information technologies.

Each designer was chosen to represent a specific perspective on design practice and will contribute to the critical dialogue on the development of contemporary design.  The idea of the publication and the mini-conference was to expand the issues represented in the exhibition and lay the groundwork for further discussions.
