What design questions lurk behind Justin Timberlake’s recent performance at the Super Bowl? What are the similarities and differences with previous mega-events and what does this performance say about the role of design in relation to the public? Under the title Reading Justin, Guus Beumer will attempt to read and analyse this performance together with the audience as the prelude to a possible essay.
