“Glitch Fiction” presents work from a collective group of thirteen up-and-coming designers and thinkers who are all recent graduates of the Royal College of Art in London. Their work is on show during the first ever Paris Design Week at the Cité de la Mode et du Design, situated in the newly regenerated neighbourhood next to the Gare d’Austerlitz, in eastern Paris.

“Glitch Fiction” brings together the worlds of architecture, graphic design, photography and research and examines the social, cultural and ethical impact of new and emerging technologies on modern culture.

You can find easy-to-read profiles of the artists on our blog, Keep in Touch! situating their work in context.
