When first discussing sex toys, the subject was so heavily tabooed, filled with prejudices, unexplored, and elusive that writing a series of articles about it seemed unthinkable. However, the popularity of these items highlighted the importance and relevance of discussing them. In our new series, Exploring new paths in intimacy, we aim to map out the socio-cultural, market, and industrial interactions within the sex toy industry.

In March this year, Studio CiGi released its very first point-and-click game, Majd nálatok, where players can immerse themselves in the surreal, quirky world of downtown Budapest through the eyes of a young adult. The game development team consists of just two people: designer Zsanna Kili and programmer János Hegymegi. Zsanna was responsible for the story, graphics, and text elements, though many of the significant content and structural decisions were made together.

Distinguished Hungarian designer and architect, former student and later teacher at the predecessor of MOME Sándor Borz Kováts is featured in an exhibition at the Design Museum Brussels. This is the first comprehensive exhibition to explore and contextualise his body of work. Renowned for his diverse designs ranging from Hungary's first catamaran on Lake Balaton to innovative music schools, university campuses, tubular and fiberglass furniture, modular lamp collections, and even boutiques in the 1960s, Borz Kováts had a career that was tragically cut short at a young age and is now examined through the lens of international contemporaries and young designers today.

“Throwing sand in the gears” is an expression commonly used to describe something or someone that hinders the smooth operation of a system. But what happens, we might ask in the spirit of the new exhibition Grana Arenaria of the Szüdzügia collective consisting of Máté Hulesch, Balázs Máté, Márton Emil Tóth and Csenge Vass if the gears consist entirely of grains of sand?

While László Márk is a well-known figure in the comic book scene, his name is also familiar in laymen’s circles. His themes, situations, and characters are mostly associated with the horror genre, not shying away from absurdity and offering a healthy dose of bizarre, dark humour.

In today’s world of information and visual overload, we sometimes need a bit of distraction, a good laugh, or a minute of immersion without having to commit to a lengthy read. One-page comics are perfect for this purpose, blending humour, drama, and creativity to work their magic on a single page.

There’s no such thing as too much exposure for design works and student collaborations, especially in the small, financially not very padded cultural scene offering precious few entry opportunities for emerging designers. The sooner a young artist gets university-wide and general publicity and can be put into contact with players of the cultural circuit, the better they can stand on their two feet after the academic safety net has been pulled from other them.

Over the past two decades, Elina Brotherus has become one of the most famous Scandinavian artists. Her rich body of work is recognizable not only by her regularly reappearing, familiar figure, but also the characteristic aesthetic language used and the questionsposed. On the occasion of her visit and artist talk at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest, we had the opportunity to ask her about her artistic approach in more depth.

It would be best if there was no need for social design, because that would mean the pressing issues of our age, such as climate change, wars, and social inequalities had all been resolved, says MOME’s scientific associate and head of the Social Design Hub of the Innovation Center Bori Fehér.
