You are most welcome to visit our showcase UNCERTAINTY STUDIOS organised by Interaction Design and Product Design ArtEZ Institute of the Arts Arnhem at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven.
What tools are relevant for shaping the future?
What frontiers need to be addressed in design education?
Product and Interaction Design of ArtEZ Arnhem will showcase Uncertainty Studios during Dutch Design Week 2014. Uncertainty studios is the result of a collaborative research project, wherein uncertainty and relevancy are investigated regarding physical and digital gestures, information design and material development
Traditionally design is defined in terms of craft, materiality and function. Nowadays the scope of design includes new realms of processes, services, social relations and information. Consequently, this transition has influenced our understanding of design and the (research) methods in design education. This process offers new ways to investigate the strength of design. It offers a common ground for students to collaborate together and accordingly explore the new frontiers in design, wherein unknown matters are excepted.
Uncertainty studios consists of an exhibition by young and established alumni of Product Design and Interaction Design, a research project by third year students and a series of lectures on lightness, sound, fiction and psychology by international quests such as Hillel Schwarz (US), Nuno Coelho (UK), Ed van Hinte (NL) and Noam Toran (UK).
