ViLD ANNUAL 2020

Beskrivelse

We invite you to engage in a ‘visual take’ on questions,
opportunities and challenges related to DESIGN. Our annual
meeting provides an opportunity for lively exchange between
professionals and researchers who share a common interest in
exploring the potential of visual knowledge generation.
The concept of design is employed in many diverse contexts
beyond its origin in industrial design, e.g., learning design, digital
design, communication design and research design. Aspirations
for personal and societal growth are often connected to notions
of creative and innovative design – including design as a mode of
thinking. Accordingly, ViLD is keen to explore how a visual
approach to design can reveal and challenge habitual thinking
that sustains inequality and to promote material and social design
activities that encourage critical thinking and personal
empowerment.
Following ViLD’s tradition, the annual meeting offers explorative
workshops, project-sharing experiences presented by partners and
a distinguished invited keynote speaker. NEW! This year’s
programme features a PhD track. Presenting PhD students earn
one credit point (ECTS).
This year, our conversations will address:
• The role played by visual means in designing
activities
• How questions are posed to set problems and
what different design concepts have to offer
• How visual and material practices construct lived
lives, e.g., a home, urban environment or place
• Whether design is a constructive mode for
comprehending technology or needs to be hacked
• How sensitive, ethical environments are achieved
through design education
