///

Memphis Design movement dominated the '80s with their crazy patterns and vibrant colors. Many designers and architects from all around the world contributed to the movement in order to escape from the strict rules of modernism. Although their designs didn't end up in people's homes, they inspired many designers working in different mediums. After their first show in Milan in 1981, everything from fashion to music videos became influenced by their visual vocabulary.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something about this format that I do not like. I feel like I don't retain anything maybe? Content is good, but something about the "Vice Documentary" thing...

It reads like a random collection of facts. There's no narrative to it.

Indeed, it's incomplete. It doesn't discuss digital/CG audiovisuals, popular genres, fashion, or world events. Memphis is important and worth diving into but it's only one facet.
