Over the last decade, from the dusk of the old milleuium to the dawn of the new one, Amsterdam-based design collec tive MACHINE has added a significant new chapter to the already rich heritage of innovative design originating lrom The Netherlands. Before electronic music, live video projcction, instant global reach and interactive means entercd mainstream, they were the first generation of designers to fully adopt and adapt to this different reality and blast a trail in theirowl1 destinctly idiosyncratic way. Fuelled by earlier teenage exploits into grafliti and comics, thcn traditionally trained in graphic design at the Rietveld Academy, the discipline in their bands, heart and mind knows no boundarics and effortlessly crosses over from the printed page to motion.sound and art installation, from the handdrawn letter to the steaming nightclub with thousands of ecstatic bodies.
