Max Kisman
With Jim Richardson and Tamye Riggs, Max Kisman invited designers around the world to create digital flowers in remembrance of the tsunami disaster. “I’m not afraid of the exchange effect of globalisation," says Kisman. “It’s destructive, and at the same time the source of life." He was one of the first Dutch designers to work with computers. But, he says, “As technologically advanced as our society is, art is human work, and it always will be."
