Critical Design uses speculative design proposals to challenge assumptions about the role of products and to promote new ways of thinking. It presents imaginative design concepts to provoke thoughts and discussions about alternative perspectives, rather than to provide finished solutions. Some criticisms of Critical Design are that it is negative, only commentary, not serious, or not concerned with aesthetics. However, its goal is to stimulate new ideas about everyday objects and systems through thought-provoking designs, not to be artistic or produce consumer products.

3. Critical Design uses speculative design proposals to challenge narrow assumptions,
preconceptions and givens about the role products play in everyday life. It is more of
an attitude than anything else, a position rather than a method.

36. It is definitely not art.
It might borrow heavily from art in terms of methods and approaches but that's it. We expect art to be shocking and
extreme. Critical Design needs to be closer to the everyday, that's where its power to disturb comes from. Too weird
and it will be dismissed as art, too normal and it will be effortlessly assimilated. If it is regarded as art it is easier to deal
with, but if it remains as design it is more disturbing, it suggests that the everyday as we know it could be different, that
things could change.
Isn‘t it art?
