Exhibition: Mission Creep
Invited by the Gallery Roger Tator, Benjamin Gaulon artist/curator present Mission Creep (in collaboration with the Imoca). 15th to 30th of November 2008, Design Biennale,, Saint-Etienne, France.
Mission creep is the expansion of a project or mission beyond its original goals, often after initial successes.[1] The term often implies a certain disapproval of newly adopted goals by the user of the term. Mission creep is usually considered undesirable due to the dangerous path of each success breeding more ambitious attempts, only stopping when a final, often catastrophic, failure occurs. The term was originally applied exclusively to military operations, but has recently been applied to many different fields, mainly the growth of bureaucracies.
