BIO 23 biennial exhibition curators and organizers shared the following ideas regarding "Design Relations": "Contemporary designers seem to embrace the resourcefulness of nature and its processes, while also displaying an amazing capability to use technology. Their explorations not only lead them to (create) commercial products but also help them to better address cultural, social, and emotional questions. BIO 23 is presenting fresh new ideas and exploring how design relates to the social, the sustainable, and the cultural, while displaying crossovers between culture and commerce, crafts and industry."
