Design, Identity and Trust
The complex dynamics of trust are decisive means for human orientation and (inter)action in society. The recent economic meltdown of global financial system and the multi-intertwined other crises all point to a crisis of trust. A loss of confidence in the systems we have created can be observed: a decrease of credibility in the processes we desire to control and manage, and distrust in the democratic institutions and private businesses. We can identify four kinds of trust crises that stresses people, politicians and whole societies today: complexity; migration and cultural resistance; economic crisis; and ecologic sustainability. This dossier is centred on observing and analysing this development by questioning how design and representation strategies could deal with the crisis of trust.
