Massive Change, by Bruce Mau and the Institute without Boundaries, is a book and exhibition project arguing that design operates across whole social, economic and political systems, not just individual products, illustrated through eleven themed installations on subjects from transportation to healthcare.
Massive Change is a project by designer Bruce Mau and the Institute without Boundaries examining how design, understood broadly, can be used as a methodology to address problems built into today's social, economic and political systems. It began as a touring exhibition — first shown at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2004–2005 before travelling to Toronto and Chicago — built around eleven themed multimedia installations covering areas such as urban planning, transportation, energy and healthcare, and including provocative displays such as a genetically modified featherless chicken and a room built from discarded electronics and household waste. Beyond the exhibition, the project also took the form of a published book, a newsletter and a radio program co-hosted by Jennifer Leonard, arguing that design's reach now extends across the systems that shape everyday life, not just individual products.
