THE FUTURE OF SHOWS


In the lead-up to each issue, Frame challenges emerging designers to


answer a topical question with a future-forward concept. That technology


has drastically altered the design landscape is nothing new, but the


immateriality associated with such developments begs the question:


what’s next? When it comes to staging events, we’ve seen dancers frolic


with drones, holographic catwalk shows for virtual fashion lines and sets


that transform via light projections. With VR and AR on the rise, will the


‘stage’ as we know it cease to exist? Or will designers revolt and return to


the physical? We asked five makers to think ahead.
