d*sign week

21. bis 26. November 2023 Kulturverein zur Schießhalle, Linz und Radio Fro

Die Abteilungen Zeitbasierte Medien und Visuelle Kommunikation, der Kunstuniversität Linz, laden zusammen mit servus.at zur Veranstaltung über open source design.

The line is shaky and the marker empty; the screen might be cracked and glitchy, but something is taking shape, so we keep exploring… We are interested in printing, distributing & publishing in autonomous ways. Our approach is self-reflective and embedded in the process of creating. We want to appropriate the tools and share our knowledge for common learning.

d*sign week is a format dedicated to experimental and independent design practices.
The week program includes talks, workshops, radio broadcasts, presentations about explorative printing, zine making and independent design tools, as well as hybrid forms of publishing on the web, open licenses, copyleft and collective forms of authorship.

The d*sign week 2023 is initiated by the local cultural platforms servus.at and Potato Publising and organized in collaboration with Kunstuniversität Linz, departments of Timebased Media & Visual Communication, Radio FRO and Kulturverein zur Schießhalle.
