Media as social systems are the subject of this year’s graduation show of the media study programme of the Piet Zwart Institute. All four graduation projects go beyond simple media designs and involve actual social interventions and reflections of cultural systems: Source collaboration and digital dump recycling for designers, critical simulations of the food industry, intercultural dating as an online social experiment.

Besides viewing the work of our graduates, visitors also have the opportunity to see the outdoors urban interventions from the first year Thematic Project Suck – Direct – Release. The headquarters and maps for the outdoors urban interventions are created by Birgit Bachler (AT), Özalp Eröz (TK), Kenneth Rayshon Henry (USA), Megan Hoogenboom (NL), Albert Jongstra (NL), Darija Medic (YU), Renee Olde Monnikhof (NL) and tutor Theo Deutinger (TD).

A catalogue designed by Arjen de Jong (Buro Duplex, Rotterdam) with an introductory essay by Florian Cramer will be available at the show.
