What’s the Matter?

Fresh Meat 14 is eager to connect palpable object-hood and social ramifications of design. The prompt, “What’s the matter?” tempts several readings: What’s it made of? What’s it about? Could matter alone project future possibilities? This inquiry and its progeny stimulate and reinforce material matter by exhibiting interpretations, musings, and ruminations on the stuff of design.
