MAK Design Salon No.4
The School of Constructed Realities
For Austrian philosopher Alexius Meinong (1853-1929), non-existent objects and even impossible objects such as round squares should be included in any proper taxonomy of objects, something we find very interesting in relation to our work with imaginary objects.
We wondered if this extreme taxonomy of objects would open up some new aesthetic possibilities for dealing with the sort of fictional objects we work with.
For The School of Constructed Realities exhibition at the MAK we worked with designer Lukas Franciszkiewicz to visualise an online lecture explaining Meinong’s Taxonomy of Objects.
