The world is facing a collective challenge in the extreme condition of lockdown scenarios. To communicate, interact and work with one another we stay mostly in front of a screen. How might we as designers find inspiration and not lose the spark of creativity while freedom of movement is restricted to an absolute minimum? One has to travel differently, through one’s own room.
In the workshop we will reflect on the complexity of remote design practices, grapple into our immediate environment and go on a journey of thought. With the emerging narratives we will explore design ideas in artefacts, sketches, visuals and recorded audio visual footage. Thus ideas are further developed in designs and design concepts combining analog and digital practice and find creative expression for instance in an interface, an object or in a spatial composition. We are purposely making the workshop a low-tech approach and focus on the aesthetic design idea.
