Domestic Science / Harry White
Different ways of using design to embed science in everyday objects.
The catastrophic decline in interest in science at school and college has been the stimulus for my work. The pieces featured here form part of my ongoing work ‘Domestic Science’, where I have been exploring different ways of using design to embed science in everyday objects, using the established user experiences to communicate relevant scientific concepts.
The measuring jugs use the product language of the family kitchen and the laboratory to reveal elements of scale, risk, arbitrariness, volumes and numbers that are present in science. ‘You’re one in a million’ is a poster for the home with a million dots, one of which is yellow. It makes super scale tangible in a world where most science is too big or small to see.
