Transitory Touchpoints

Books, Packaging, Digital Interactive Art

Modern food packaging is typically designed with the intention to serve only a transitory purpose. Food companies aim to engage a consumer’s unconscious thoughts and emotions in their shopping experiences, hoping to influence what could be merely split-second purchasing decisions. Yet some of these designs linger in our minds as they become the connective tissue between our memories and the package that is the ephemeral object. Transitory Touchpoints examines the emotional resonance of food packaging.
