The London Design Biennale displays an array of artwork, represented by countries' ambitious designers and innovators, showing how design impacts every aspect of our lives.

Designers responded to the theme Emotional States, participants from six continents exhibited interactive design installations. International design is astonishingly mindblowing!


Full Spectrum- Flynn Talbot 
Australia

Talbot explores positive emotions and positive Australia after same-sex marriage became legal in December 2017. Talbot became inspired by the new notion of love that unleashed a freedom. This is a tactile and immersive light screen pavilion that aims to recreate the feeling of love through light.

This 17 metre long wall, constructed from a steel spring skeleton with flexing plastic, breathes around the human body as it walks through. People transgress through the mechanical boundaries, passing through the undulating walkway.
