Interesting exposition at TAG about interface design.

<>TAG is organising a symposium on Info Aesthetics. In this light, a number of speakers will offer different and surprising angles to the subject, delving into the depths of data storage, exchange and representation.

At <>TAG, LUST presents a decade of design in an interactive visual catalogue that explores new ways of archiving. The exhibition is not primarily aimed at summing up, it strives to highlight the actual process of design in which failure and success exist side by side. It addresses the issue of data storage, access, exchange and modification that has become increasingly relevant in the digital age.
