Part theatre of the absurd, part gifted child's science book, and part artist manifesto, ORGANS OF EMOTION marks the accidental collaboration of renowned designer Doug Fitch and performance artist-writer Richard Eoin Nash, who set out to explain how our emotions work, and ended up with a hole-filled, foam-covered book - printed on freaked-out yellow steno-pad-like paper - that finds the source of emotion in daily glimpses of architecture, public transportation and schoolchildren. Revolving around a series of interviews with the authors, a sequence of essays, epigrams and drawings explore an alternate world where our feelings are lumpy machines, robots have a deep history, and characters named Jealousy and Love speak to each other like old pals. Offering a witty and compelling take on the nature versus nurture debate, this is a multi-media work that will appeal to designers, art-lovers and scientists alike.
