Symposium: I dont know where I'm going but I want to be there
I don't know where I'm going but I want to be there
The expanding field of Graphic Design
Symposium
18 december
Paradiso Amsterdam
What used to be a culturally defined, craftsmanship based profession has evolved into a popular, democratized discipline permeating all types of media. Today's visual communication landscape functions as a breeding ground for both text and image, which are produced and consumed simultaneously in networked loops. Contemporary practitioners generate their own context and rules, and navigate the world through an array of sampled media, methods, styles, and ideas. No one knows where graphic design is going, or what it will be called tomorrow. What we do know is that it's on the move.
2nd edition! Last year the Graphic Design Museum organized the successful Me You And Everyone We Know Is A Curator symposium. Its speakers, among others Bruce Sterling, Andrew Keen, and Rick Poynor, explored new criteria of quality for online artistic production. This year, the symposium's aim is to map the expanding field of graphic design. Join the party, even and especially if you think I Don't Know Where I'm Going But I Want To Be There.
Featuring Stefan Sagmeister, Alice Rawsthorn, Paul D. Miller alias DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid, Dunne & Raby, Julian Roberts, KesselsKramer, Metahaven, Thomas Lommee, Lust, Ravioli, Sophie Krier, Mieke Gerritzen, Koert van Mensvoort.
