In the winter of 1996-97, four Swedish and two British artists took part in an exhibition with Torbjörn Lenskog’s collection of 20th century products at the Swedish National Museum of Art. The collection was the result of a passionate design expert’s taste for the looks of industrial modernism. But it also provided a telling example of the difficulties of classifying design into styles, epochs, and ideals. Various interviews in this work address everything from the mentality of collecting, through modernism’s ideologies of purity and cleanliness, to the cultural malleability of industrial products. This CD-ROM is a short encyclopedic text for historical design. Included are two CD-ROMs with 60 documentary film clips, 400 photos, and 100 Quicktime VR Objects, as well as one 45 RPM LP containing music.
