The Object is Absent is a radical experiment. It is a theatre, a concert, a cinema, a gym and an exhibition in one. It is a playful gathering to learn and do, by designers and everyone. The Object is Absent is a manifesto to dematerialize design by optimizing optimistic human behaviour.
The world is changing rapidly. Powers are shifting and we have to develop new relations and values between people; people as objects, players and spectators. With The Object is Absent MU takes a radical step in that direction.

About MU
MU is an adventurous and inquisitive guide in an international network of creatives investigating together what art can be. To MU art and design are core in daily life. We always seek to link art to contemporary developments in society, from digital culture to urban transformations, without ever losing sight of the capacity to radically change thinking by artists and designers.
