Dear List,
thanks for all the great posts on this list!
Now I would have a question on my own. I am graphic designer and
working on a design research at the Jan van Eyck Academie in
Maastricht, NL, a post-academic institute for research and production
in art, design and theory. At the Jan van Eyck the idea of design
research is implemented in a more practical approach.
My research focuses on different questions around criticality in
design (with a focus on graphic design). What could be a criticality
in design? What could be a form of resistance in design? Is design a
catalyst between art and capital and therefore always subjected to
its role of functioning? Does design need a kind of external
experimental space?
A part of this research is an investigation about the notion of the
blind spot. The blind spot "visualizes" the idea that no
communication can ever be complete - and that in our perception there
is always a lacking perspective about which we don`t know which
perspective it is. It hints towards a way of thinking which stays
dynamic and open. If you always head towards the point from which you
were not able to look before, the potential of new ideas and
perspectives grows bigger.
I know that it is very broad but I would be very happy to hear any
sort of ideas, references or remarks - positive and negative - to
this ideas and questions! Thank you!!!!
Kind regards,
Katja Gretzinger
