Ex-formation

Ex-formation

For Kenya Hara, design begins with comprehension of the unknown. In contrast to<br>“information," “exformation" describes how little we really know and thus becomes<br>the starting point for any type of design. Based on a range of projects the book<br>describes what “exformation" can look like in design practice and how this concept<br>alters our classic understanding of information design. Following the path embarked<br>on in Designing Design (2007) and its successor, White (2010), Ex-formation<br>continues to explore the void, absence, and indeterminacy in contemporary design.
