Taking place February 22 and 23, 2013, AFTERTASTE will explore the "Atmosphere of Objects," a close examination of the way objects in space inform inhabitation, influence perception and create social dynamics. AFTERTASTE: THE ATMOSPHERE OF OBJECTS | http://sce.parsons.edu/labs/aftertaste/at2013 "Objects that occupy space are both props for the designer's vision, and projections of the inhabitant's psyche," said Jonsara Ruth, director of the MFA Interior Design program at Parsons. "Objects and furniture choreograph human performance, provide function, influence atmosphere, and inspire nostalgia."
