Open day at the RCA.
The Royal College of Art’s Design Interactions department is having an open day on December 4th 2006:
“The Design Interactions department at the Royal College of Art explores new roles, contexts and approaches for design in relation to the social, cultural and ethical impact of existing and emerging technologies.
Projects, which are often speculative and critical, aim to inspire debate about the human consequences of different technological futures, both positive and negative.
Students work closely with people outside the College, designing for the complex, troubled people we are, rather than the easily satisfied consumers and users we are supposed to be.
Project outcomes are expressed through a variety of media including prototypes, simulations, video and photography. Students have backgrounds in art and design, computer science, engineering and psychology.
Visitors can meet and talk with students in the studio between 2.00 PM and 6.00 PM.
Professor Anthony Dunne, Head of Department, will give presentations about the course at 2.00 PM and 4.00 PM.“
