Back in the sixties the American author Philip K Dick published 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'. As well as becoming the inspiration for 'Blade Runner', the novel introduced a new term – 'kipple' – for the useless bits and pieces that are by-products of everyday life. You know the drawer that started out with a purpose but now just contains undefined 'stuff'? It’s packed with kipple. There's probably a fair bit under your bed, too. Artist Dan Tobin Smith has used kipple sent in by the public to create a walk-in art installation as part of the London Design Festival. He has filled his Haggerston studio with a spread of kipple in colour order, so that visitors can pick their way through a rainbow of rubbish. The exhibition will be accompanied by two dining evenings run by Funthyme Supperclub, with diners seated above the patchwork of stuff (£75). Only one question remains: now that it's found a use as part of an exhibition, is it still kipple?
