Product Description
Synopsis
Part theatre of the absurd, part gifted child's science book, and part artist manifesto, ORGANS OF EMOTION marks the accidental collaboration of renowned designer Doug Fitch and performance artist-writer Richard Eoin Nash, who set out to explain how our emotions work, and ended up with a hole-filled, foam-covered book - printed on freaked-out yellow steno-pad-like paper - that finds the source of emotion in daily glimpses of architecture, public transportation and schoolchildren. Revolving around a series of interviews with the authors, a sequence of essays, epigrams and drawings explore an alternate world where our feelings are lumpy machines, robots have a deep history, and characters named Jealousy and Love speak to each other like old pals. Offering a witty and compelling take on the nature versus nurture debate, this is a multi-media work that will appeal to designers, art-lovers and scientists alike.
