What can an object do when it exists at the intersection of the digital and physical worlds?

How are digital technologies transforming the possibilities of object design and making? This is the question explored in an exhibition by MOME’s Digital Object Making specialisation, offering a snapshot of how a new generation of designers thinks about objects. Put on at Medence Designlab as part of Designfest, the showcase brings features prototypes, experiments, and functional objects to demonstrate how digital tools are expanding the possibilities of traditional object design.

Students experiment with new forms of objects, systems, and interactions using 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC technologies, parametric design, and electronic systems. Digital technologies are more than just tools for making things; they also shape the way students approach the design process, opening up possibilities for creating customisable, adaptive, generative, and even speculative objects. The projects range from everyday objects and toys to interactive pieces and experimental prototypes addressing social and environmental issues. Together, they explore the role and scope of the designer in a creative process that is increasingly programmable, generative, and partly automated. After all, today's designers work not only with materials, but also with technology, data, rules, and user behaviour.  

The exhibition is curated by Head of the Digital Object Making specialisation Dóra Rea Kövér. At the opening, Head of the Centre for Object Making Zoltán Lublóy will give a welcome address, followed by the official opening by Ákos Lipóczki DLA.
