ABOUT THE THEME: (dis)pleasure to All
“If there is some connection between dreams and life then all is well.”
Dmitry Ivanovich Pisarev
What makes us satisfied as individuals?
What is one pleased to do and how is one pleased to take part? What are the priorities of personal and what of collective pleasure and do we have them within our reach, or do we have to create them?
„Assuming that the achievement of something is the reason for satisfaction, which implies that one should be doing something, it is logical not to set goals that are too big. And if an individual wants to have more shares in the total of collective satisfaction, the stake must be higher. The problem most often arises from imbalance – wanting to gain as much pleasure as possible, the individual sets goals they cannot achieve, which makes them doubly dissatisfied: there is no satisfaction from achievement, and consequently, there is no share in the principal.“ (Boris Greiner)
„For my own part, I am not much interested in talking about pleasure as an outcome of a process but about happiness.(…) I perceive satisfaction as the word itself tells us: when personal and social prerequisites for work to occur have been met, work should be performed to the benefit, and not detriment, of all who participate in its performance; when, in addition, their individual and collective work is valued equally, we could say that mutual, or multiple, satisfaction has been achieved; however, I also think that this is the base, whereas our goal should be to achieve happiness. Universal happiness for all.
Design should raise awareness of the time we, as just one of the communities on the planet, no longer have much or any at all, yet despite that, design too can participate in achieving happiness, but by no means only for those who live from or for design. (Bojan Dmitrović Krištofić)
