<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From April 1 until the 3rd I’ll be at the Design Connexity conference<\/a> as part of Eighth International Conference of the European Academy of Design. On Friday the 3rd I’ll give a talk, probably on Design Fiction or Prototypes and Special Effects, rehashing and rethinking some material from my dissertation.<\/p>\n

But, seriously. Check out the conference themes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nDesign Boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a post-modern digital age we can witness attempts to combine art and technology crossing the boundaries in what was originally described by C.P. Snow (1959) as the \u2018two cultures\u2019. Snow\u2019s fundamentally convergent position sought to expose the cultural divisions between art\/humanities and science\/technology. New design courses are being developed that embrace the concept of transdisciplinarity, moving beyond traditional subject boundaries. This theme invites papers that explore the boundaries between disciplines and professional practices, for example between design and architecture, design and craft or design and fine art.<\/em><\/p>\n

Responsible Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designers are often cited as being major contributors to the ever-growing problem of waste as landfill sites fill up with discarded products that were designed without any consideration for recycling or reuse. Responsible designing makes it imperative that new products are designed with \u2018cradle to cradle\u2019 vision. This theme invites papers that explore the issue of responsible design, developing new strategies and insights into how this may be achieved.<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the favorite of the Near Future Laboratory Theme Evaluation Division:<\/p>\n

Anti-Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\nThe Ad Busters web site states that: \u201cWe are a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age. Our aim is to topple existing power structures and forge a major shift in the way we will live in the 21st century\u201d. Is this the beginning of anti-design, a reaction against our material culture? This theme invites papers that challenge our notion of the role of design in the 21st century.<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
