DESIGN and technology

About

Designand technology

FLUX reflects the constant movement within our work, from the shifting relationship between human and machine to the space between critical distance and embodied experience. It speaks to the way designed objects move through systems, contexts, and interactions, always becoming something new.

Through emerging technologies, interactive experiences, and experimental design practices, FLUX brings together work that moves across disciplines while staying rooted in what makes us human.

HOVER OVER THIS SECTION

The most important “About” statement our team can write is also a “Thank You” to the man who made all of this possible. To Sven Travis, the creator of the Design and Technology program: none of this would have ever existed without you, your passion, your kindness, and your vision thank you for everything you have done! We wish you nothing but the best in retirement and cannot wait to see all the mischief and amazing projects you get up to.
