FINE ART<br>
The Fine Art department offers a unique space for experimentation, production, reflection and debate. Researchers conduct their artistic research in an environment that encourages questioning of the assumptions, forms, meanings and contexts that are tied to the practice of making art today. The Fine Art department welcome artists, individuals and groups, without stipulating conditions regarding form, content and media.<br>
<br>
Artistic practice is supported by a programme of events and sustained conversations organised by the (advising) researchers. The academy offers expertise in all media and production areas, in-house or in cooperation with partner organisations, and encourages publishing through the Jan van Eyck publication series.<br>
<br>
The Fine Art Department is headed by advising researchers Hans-Christian Dany, Imogen Stidworthy and Nasrin Tabatabai & Babak Afrassiabi. <br>
<br>
DESIGN<br>
The Design Department is planning to start the following new research initiatives:<br>
<br>
FORBIDDEN CITY<br>
Strijp-S is an urban development plan that tries to turn the 66-acres of the former Philips factory in Eindhoven from a 'Forbidden City' into a ' Creative City with an unequalled character'. The project is a visual research into new divisions of labour that emerge when heavy industries and mass-production are replaced by what is coined as cognitive, immaterial or affective labour.<br>
<br>
The project calls for designers, urbanists, video- and filmmakers.<br>
Advising researcher: Florian Schneider<br>
<br>
*LATENT STARE*<br>
Exploring the practice, methods and messages of type-design, *Latent stare* proposes a gathering and study of selected typefaces and stories, from the 1900s onwards – when technology had accelerated, and begun to affect, the production and distribution of new types. The selected material is affiliated to a political, social or spiritual set of beliefs, which feed back into the typefaces creation, design and/or use. <br>
<br>
Advising researcher: David Bennewith<br>
<br>
NEUTRALITY_Polity and Space in the Post-Eurocentric City<br>
Researches the modalities and substances that contemporary practices of neutrality give rise to and contribute in sustaining. The project will outline innovative paths towards design agency and creativity and analyses forms of transformation and control of contemporary space. <br>
<br>
Advising researcher: John Palmesino<br>
<br>
OPEN VIDEO<br>
HTML5 is supposed to open a new chapter in web design and web-based publishing. Open Video will research into past and present open-source video implementations to develop an independent platform that explores the specific potentials of self-authored and self-managed, open-source video publishing initiatives against the backdrop of the overwhelming dominance of mass-media like content providers.<br>
<br>
The project calls for code developers, web designers and digital content producers.<br>
Advising researcher: Florian Schneider<br>
<br>
REMOTE SENSING_Biopolitical Imagery<br>
Investigates how new remote-sensing technologies are shaping and carving contemporary spaces of operation and sovereignty, and focuses on the agency that these new technologies elicit and entail. The project singles out a series of contemporary situations and traces the complex links and exchanges between the production of new images through remote sensing and the outline of new legal and governmental issues.<br>
<br>
The project calls for data visualisation designers, interaction designers, urbanists, architects, photographers, video and filmmakers.<br>
Advising researchers: John Palmesino and Florian Schneider<br>
<br>
The Design Department is currently headed by advising researchers John Palmesino, Florian Schneider and Daniel van der Velden. <br>
