Transparency and the design of things
My speaker notes written before the Design Culture Salon at the Victoria and Albert MuseumTo me transparency means conveying the truth. Transparency a trait of candid openness denoting accessibly of information, be it in a person, a product or system. Transparency can to some extent manifest itself in products themselves and this can take many forms. Antiques are an example of a product manifestation of the products provenance, sometimes denoting authenticity. Indeed the origin of the product discovered through the medium itself becomes almost the most important aspect.Jessi Baker4 min read
