By contrast\, interrogative design focuses on activating the public sphere and enriching public discourse through the production of questions. A notable contribution to the fields of critical design and media art\, interrogative design traces its development to Krzysztof Wodiczko and his 1990s public art projects\, documented in the book Critical Vehicles. \nIn Interrogative Design\, Ian Wojtowicz showcases this lineage with new writing from Wodiczko and a host of contributions from diverse and influential practitioners\, including Rosalyn Deutsche and Antoni Muntadas. This book highlights the dynamism of interrogative design as it is practiced today. \nNever has the need for work that provokes thoughtful discourse been more necessary\, and this volume catalogs both the need and potential viable techniques. A consolidated collection on the legacy and the vital currency of interrogative design\, this volume will delight practitioners with new material and serve students as a practical handbook. \nContributors also include: Dora Apel\, Dan Borelli\, Harrell Fletcher\, Pete Ho Ching Fung\, Dana Gordon\, Sara Hendren\, Garnet Hertz\, Sohin Hwang\, Ekene Ijeoma\, Marisa Morán Jahn\, Mark Jarzombek\, Jaekyung Jung\, Sung Ho Kim\, Jean-Baptiste Labrune\, Pia Lindman\, Ani Liu\, Andrew Todd Marcus\, Matthew Mazzotta\, Alex Milton\, Max Mollon\, Mariana Morais\, Antoni Muntadas\, Gauri Nagpal\, Maria Niro\, Ginger Nolan\, Robert Ochshorn\, Adam Ostolski\, Sofia Ponte\, Gustavo Romeiro\, Natalia Romik\, Warren Sack\, Kirk Savage\, Nitin Sawhney\, Sanjit Sethi\, Samein Shamsher\, James Shen\, Carl Solander\, Richard Streitmatter-Tran\, Orkan Telhan\, Bruce M.
