Design Nonfiction
Transformations in design practice between the Dotcom Crash and the rise of machine intelligence
As technology becomes more complex and opaque, how will we as designers understand its potential, do hands-on work, translate it into forms people can understand and use, and lead meaningful conversations with manufacturers and policymakers about its downstream implications? We are entering a new technology landscape shaped by artificial intelligence, advanced robotics and synthetic biology.
Historically, design has transformed and generated new disciplines during times of fast technological change. Through conversations led by Tellart, this project explores and documents transformations in design between the Dotcom Crash and the rise of machine intelligence. Through reflections on key projects from this period and interviews with a community of today’s top design practitioners, Design Nonfiction explores the future of design practice. It emphasises the timeless need to make the invisible visible and the immaterial tangible, in order to sketch and build with emerging technologies.

Design Nonfiction Keynote
Interaction20, Milan Italy
In his keynote, Tellart Founder & Chief Design Officer Matt Cottam illustrates how design has evolved with digital technology, and how it will be forced to further adapt in response to a new wave of emerging technology including advanced robotics, synthetic biology and artificial intelligence. He shares some highlights from the Design Nonfiction interviews and some of the hopes, concerns and questions that guide us as we imagine the path ahead.
Keynote: “Design Nonfiction” Matt Cottam
Transformations in design practice between the Dotcom Crash and the rise of machine intelligence Historically, design has transformed and generated new disciplines during times of fast technological change. In the early 2000s the rapid spread of digital technologies challenged designers to respond to a new wave of invisible and intangible materials that promised to revolutionise material culture at every scale. We had to develop new ways of working hands-on with these materials in order to understand their potential. This called for new tools, collaborations and ways of thinking. We now enter a new landscape of possibilities shaped by advanced robotics, machine intelligence and synthetic biology. How will this shift what it means to be human and how we shape our world? At a critical moment for our planet, and as we set our sights beyond Earth to other celestial bodies, the technological landscape is changing much faster than humans can. Is this simply the next technology revolution, or are we now entering uncharted territory for design? In 2016 the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum awarded Tellart the National Design Award for Interaction Design—a discipline that did not yet exist when we founded our studio in 2000. This inspired us to reflect on the recent past and future of our practice. We embarked on a road trip, filming interviews with many top design theorists, practitioners and educators we have had the privilege of working with over these years. This project, which we call Design Nonfiction, explores our recent collective experience and the promise of the coming decades for design. We embarked on this project to chronicle a special moment in design history—to look back, but also ahead. It is dedicated to the new generation of designers who may play a pivotal role in society by giving emerging technologies tangible form and helping people grasp the downstream implications of today’s choices—creating preferable futures for humanity and the planet. In this talk I will share some highlights from these conversations and some of the hopes, concerns and questions that guide us as we imagine the path ahead.

Historically, design practice has transformed and generated new disciplines during times of fast technological change. In the early 2000s, the rapid spread of digital technologies drove designers to explore how to adapt 20th-century foundational design methods and tools to a new wave of invisible and intangible materials that promised to revolutionise material culture at every scale.
