Conference
EXHIBITION OF WORKS
Since both design and cinema disciplines have physical outcomes,
Design Cinema 2008 would like to bring practices, researches and
creative outputs together under the 'works exhibition' and create a
rich and provoking platform during the conference. We are open to
all artists, designers, scientists, professionals, amateurs and
students around the world working in various categories to share
their works with us. Critical and subversive works/interventions are
welcomed. Buildings, environments, products, film, television,
computers, costume, games, sound, all are expected to act as agents
of discussion.
THEME
The moving image has become a powerful medium for the representation
of designed worlds and revolutionized the abstraction of that which is
designed. While designers have become more open to the interests of
cinema, cinema is expansively engaged with issues of design. The aim
of the conference is theorizing and rhetorizing the interpretation
and production of those environments assumed to exist as real,
hyper-real and/or virtual, embracing all hybrid forms. We believe
that this theme will uncover those other far-reaching issues related
to the realized and potential mise-en-sc
>real Designing of objects and environments
Experience of the designed objects and
environments
>hyper-real Manipulation of the real
Blurring of the real
>virtual Creation of a parallel universe
Hybrid existences
