Comprising of 1960s Tasmanian archival footage the content of the footage is eclectic reminding the viewer that our daily lives are filled with objects that we forget are designed. In asking ourselves, what is design? One must question the motives of current contemporary Industrial Design ethics and evaluate whether the boom of low quality products that are distributed daily are acceptable for our level of society.
