description: For MUTABOR 9 the Hamburg design group Mutabor has chosen "system" as its subject. Mutabor defines three conceptual starting points and dedicates a booklet to picture, word and idea. In the colour picture section - entitled "command shift root of nine" - screen shots blend together to form systematic layouts, celebrating the graphic rebirth of the good old Rubic's Cube. The booklet entitled "system9" contains different essays written by designers, programmers and journalists that discuss the chances and risks of "systems". The third booklet - entitled "random 9 to the 3rd power" - documents a programmed design experiment that is conducted with randomly generated layouts. An aesthetically oriented random generator poses the question of whether technology can become independent in the area of aesthetics.
