PRODUCTS OF OUR TIME™ brings together the work of an international array of designers and artists who are commenting on the current environmental economic, cultural, and political zeitgeist using a common medium—products.

Some of the products are theoretical in nature, they pose a question in the form of a one-of-a-kind object created as prototype. Other products take a singular concept and create customized variations on the theme. Still others have been conceived and engineered for mass production.

The salient quality unifying the disparate objects gathered here is the subtext lurking beneath their surfaces that belie the product’s seemingly everyday appearance or mundane function and hints at the “interesting times” in which we live.
