Motoring in design

The Audi Young Designer of the Year 2003 was launched at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts in Gateshead this week with a display of furniture manufactured from car parts and a prototype of last year’s winning design, a wheelchair enhancement. For information: www.audifoundation.org.

Nuclear vision

Remember The War Game? If you’re too young to have been around when Peter Watkins’s drama-documentary about a nuclear attack on Kent caused consternation when it was shown in cinemas in 1966 and on BBC television in 1985 (having originally been made for TV), you can see it now on video. It may not be a comfortable time to consider the nation’s readiness (or lack of it) for such a crisis, but it could be instructive.

The video also includes Watkins’s The Diary of an Unknown Soldier and The War Game - the controversy. Information: www.bfi.org.uk.
