Catalogue for the exhibition at NAi - Nederlands Architectuurinstituut, Rotterdam , 07.02-21.04.2003. Reality Machines features work by young contemporary Dutch architects, industrial designers, fashion designers, graphic designers and photographers. This book examines the stance adopted by Dutch designers in the 1990s and today. Militating against the 'makability' of a fully designed landscape, they deliberately seek to distort and alineate reality. Five themed groups - PhotoShop Reality, Come Back Effect, Back to Basics, No Original, and Are You Serious? - pull the various disciplines into confrontation.
