Biz insam miyiz? / Are we human?

This biennial tries to reboot the conversation on design by asking the urgent question are we human? and bringing together a density and diversity of voices to stimulate an extended debate. The project is not to present the latest designs or ideas about how to solve problems. Rather, it tries to show how design got to where it is. We think that the only way to face the present is to look in the rear-view mirror. This biennial is a kind of mirror. The real work is not just what is on show but in the unexpected and inventive reactions to the surprising reflections one always sees in a mirror.
