Interface: Past and Future

The interaction of humans and machines is a vital area of design practice. How do we control the things around us – and how do they control us? Critic, curator, and historian Ellen Lupton explores the evolution of design for interaction, from past to future, physical to virtual, body to mind, utopia to dystopia.
