Abstract
An edited transcript of a talk given at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London as part of the series ‘Spaced Out 3’—Smart Practices in a Complex World (March, 1997). Born in Warsaw, Krzysztof Wodiczko lives in New York City and is head of the Interrogative Design Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). An innate interdisciplinarity underlines his work, which originates from a training in industrial design. His overriding concern is the relationship to art, design, technology, ethics and psychology. His works Poliscar, the various Projections, the Homeless Vehicle and Alien Staff underscore the notion of art as a renewed form of communication with an emphasis on ideas about exclusion and strangeness in public space. The communication instrument of the Alien Staff and the discourse between objects and users is a compelling subject Krzysztof Wodiczko has been focusing on in recent years.
