Upcoming Saturday April 24, the Piet Zwart Institute will have its annual Open House at the Karel Doormanhof 45/Mauritsstraat 36. The staff of the Networked Media programme invites all interested students and people interested in contemporary artistic media work to visit our department.
Several students and staff members will be present, including course directors Florian Cramer and Renee Turner. You have the opportunity to view students’ work in a preview of our 2010 graduation show, and ask students and staffers questions about the course.
The preview of the 2010 graduation show features the following Masters exam projects in prototype presentations:
Emanuele Bonetti (IT) shows how to apply Open Source development methods for new forms of collective, collaborative peer-to-peer graphic design work;
Loredana Bontempi (IT) will present a prototype of her ‘digital dump’, a network-shared computer trashcan for visual designers who recycle other people’s thrown-away projects rather than designing from scratch;
Selena Savic (YU) will present a prototype of a game that simulates the food industry and distribution of food; players have to fight over territories of farms and supermarkets, and corporate versus community food production;
Farrah Shakeel (PK) will be available to discuss her research on intercultural communication.
In addition, our first year students Albert Jongstra (NL), Birgit Bachler (AT), Darija Medic (YU), Kenneth Henry (USA), Megan Hoogenboom (NL), Özalp Eröz (TK) and Renee Olde Monnikhof will open a studio to the public and invite all visitors to have a look at their current media work which includes experimental electronic book and magazine designs, viral sticker campaigns and Internet data visualizations.
