This talk explores and explicates a ‘knowingly wrong’ approach that fuses traditional mastery (that of knowing) with unconventional techniques, processes and outcomes (that of wrongness) to enable innovation within the discipline. This offers an alternative approach to graphic design practice. Key practice inquiries: type design without designing type, typography, a dialogue with the printing press, sampling, and the workmanship of risk in (and as) the design and print production process are tackled from theoretical, historical and reflective viewpoints.

Throughout a wide range of formats, from artists’ books and exhibition catalogues to posters, marketing material, exhibitions, websites, film titles and music, the studio prioritises artists’ and writers’ content over the imposition of a signature style.

What if the night, often underestimated in the discourse on cities and architecture, is the lifeworld that holds the keys to our everyday experience? Might the night be more than a rotation that recharges our daily life? Could the night as a transformative, less hierarchical space, let us dream our collective futurity?

This workshop will introduce you to Augmented Reality as a tool to create art and promote your art to millions of people. You will create your own Face Filter for Snapchat by exploring the possibilities of the human face as a canvas. No prior knowledge of the program is needed. Any skill, from physical painting to 3D sculpting, can be harnessed and turned into an Augmented Reality experience. With the constant improvement in quality of the mostly free AR programs, the potential on how to present your work in a digital, accessible and personal way has only begun.
born in Germany in 1990, she completed her Bachelor in Fashion and Design in 2015 in Amsterdam. During her studies, she interned for the renowned Belgian Fashion Designer, Walter Van Beirendonck (Member of the Antwerp Six) in 2013 and won the Lectra Award for her Hyper Craft collection (digital fashion minor) in 2014. Her work is further influenced by her experience on film sets. For the past three years (2019–2022), Sarah has shifted her focus entirely towards the Digital World. Her digital masks, partly available as Augmented Reality experiences (on Instagram, Snapchat and Tiktok), keep fashion at its core while not aiming to be fashionable. Instead, the designs question what fashion can become with a different medium.

This workshop deals with key changes in public memory in the Netherlands. We examine memorials, literature and art in their relationships to official memory and creative practices. We see a gradual shift in focus from war heroes to collective and individual victims of the persecution. The workshop will highlight contemporary visual artists, whose works are inspired by their family histories and by changing attitudes to their memory, whilst public visibility increased. In line with these changes and the fact that the generation of the Shoa is disappearing we will work on 2 real projects. Planning an exhibition with several levels of a Holocaust site included. The Jewish Work Village in the polder and the Westerbork transit camp. Facing challenges of inclusion.

The workshop is about the relationships between the human body and internal spaces. In this workshop, students will learn what the elements are that influence us in a space. Understanding these elements will allow students to use them as part of designing space for objects. The studies will initially focus on analyzing and understanding the interior spaces of private and public places. For example: what makes temples inspiring; where does the power of fascistic buildings comes from. The tools that will be acquired during this workshop will help students understand how the encounter with structures affects the human body and behavior of people both individually and as a group.

Lyric videos are animated music videos that showcase the words of a song, animated in time to the music. They all include type and typography in some form, often in innovative ways. During the workshop you are required to make a typographic lyric video for a song that you will pick from a hat. You should interpret the words, mood, type of song in any way that you feel, but with a need to communicate the words. It’s not required to make the whole video in the time given, more of an approach (pitch) that communicates your idea.

Might the night be more than a rotation that recharges our daily life? Could the night as a transformative, less hierarchical space, let us dream our collective futurity? This workshop will explore various temporal, spatial and social art strategies of engaging the urban night space. The aim of the workshop is to enable the participants to experiment with making public-facing artworks that delve into the discourse of the urban night and the representation of the city.
The first part of the workshop starts at 11am as an intro and the second part is a nocturnal walk at 9pm.
