THE NEXT BIG THING
An exhibition of the design department of the Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam
………………………………………………………………………………….
‘The Next Big Thing’ is a Sandberg Instituut design department exhibition featuring eleven students’ graduation projects along with other exceptional designs by students from the department. All the projects make statements that are utterly personal, what binds them is their speculative character. Each project acts like a magnifying glass turned on significant developments in our society. The projects together demonstrate how the profession of (graphic) design enables one to operate on the cutting edge and reformulate what engages people.

Anschlaege organizes together with the Bauhaus foundation an
international camp for architecture and urban development, that
addresses to young people at the age of 16 to 22.
Now we are (still) searching pupils from european countries, who
want to take part in our workshop.
We organize the journey for participants to Dessau, and up to 70
percent of the travel costs (the maximum grant is ?150) can be
reimbursed. In Dessau we organize accomodations by host families, we
work and eat every day together.
The summer workshop takes up the Bauhaus tradition to address the
fundamental needs of the people in building in design – in Dessau
especially the needs of young people. The youth of Dessau were
canvassed about their needs and came up with answers. In the Summer
Workshop therefore, 60 young people from Germany and elsewhere in
Europe will, through experimentation and in case studies, find new
identities and alternative usages for spaces in the city. The
objective is to foster creativity through self-organisation and
independent action, to encourage exchange between the city and its
inhabitants. Our venues will include empty shops, squares and
houses, decommissioned railway tracks and overgrown riverside areas.
We take an interdisciplinary approach to our work and artists,
architects and designers lead the workshops.
We organise different workshops from the 19th to the 29th of august.
“Building future” has to be understood very literally in this case,
because the kids work in 6 different workshops and every workshop
builds different “objects” (as you can read in the flyer): Some
workshops base on craft kind of work, another one has the target to
establish a shop for selfmade little designobjects and another one
for example is called the “kitchen of rumours” and communicates the
whole project to Dessau city and people.
It is possible to inform yourself about our facebook-account

Invitation
Dear classmates,
Last week Thursday I was a guest for one day during Kolabo Summer Lab Workshop
My role was to share my thoughts on the topic they had already chosen, and bring some fresh ideas during their brainstorm session.
In return, I promised them my meditations and conclusions for their blog.
You can read my contribution here
The end presentation of this workshop is coming Friday, July 30. (the official invitation follows below, in Dutch)
If anyone is still in the Netherlands, perhaps you are interested to join me.
This is the address:
Kolabo Summer Lab
Schiekade 189, Top Floor

Let me know!
Cheers,

KOLABO en CODUM nodigen u graag uit voor een heel
speciale zomeravond. Op vrijdag 30 juli presenteren wij namelijk de
uitkomsten van het jaarlijkse KOLABO SUMMER LAB, dit keer op locatie bij
Codum, die gerenoveerde ruimtes in de stad beschikbaar stelt voor de
creatieve industrie.
We hebben gedurende twee weken onderzocht hoe sociale media kunnen
worden ingezet om blijvende participatie van de enorme verwachte toename
van 65-plussers te bevorderen. Moeten wij die doelgroep, waar we zelf
ook toe zullen behoren, wel van alle gemakken voorzien? Is het niet
beter om hen hun eigen grenzen te laten blijven opzoeken? Welke prikkels
hebben zij nodig om geëngageerd te blijven? En speelt de overheid daar
een rol in, of gaan we nu al zelfregulerende systemen opzetten?
Dit keer met talenten die recent zijn afgestudeerd op het gebied van
Sociologie, Nieuwe Media en Toegepaste Kunsten en dagelijkse special
guests.
Wilt u betroken worden in de discussie over wat ons te doen staat in de
komende tien jaar om onze samenleving met behulp van ambient technology
meer open en zelf-regulerend te maken, kom dan vrijdag 30 juli kijken
naar de publieke presentatie van alle creatieve ideeën die in deze twee
weken geoogst zijn.
U bent welkom vanaf 17:00 uur tijdens de inloop en borrel.
De publieke presentatie start om 18:00 uur.
Wij hopen u daar te begroeten.

In Toronto for G20, with a press pass
Good evening!
A friend of mine in Toronto is volunteering for The Real News. His name is Jason Mortlock. Here are his pics from the G20 Summit in Toronto, in all its shame and glory. Jason said his press pass helped a little, but he still got harassed and pepper sprayed.
Some of his photos portray the Black Bloc's actions: cop cars on fire! The Bloc is notorious for being "anarchist" shit disturbers, in Canada, France and elsewhere. This is how they're portrayed in Canadian mainstream media. But are they really dangerous?
In Canada, the Bloc has been co-opted by the police. During Montebello protests in 2007, there was an investigation held. It found three police officers infiltrating the Bloc. They too were dressed in black. They threw rocks at other police. They incited other peaceful protesters to become violent. The same thing happened during Toronto's G20: Bloc members smashing windows for hours without being arrested. This gave peaceful protesters a negative image. It also gave Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair (as well as leaders from the RCMP and OPP) ammunition to increase the security budget and carry out more dangerous attacks on the human rights of protesters, journalists and photographers.
Torontonians are condemning police brutality. And despite all this, Toronto Mayor David Miller praised the police. Keep an ear out in the news of how the Toronto Police Services Board will be carrying out its biased investigation, despite citizens and justice advocates demanding more accountability.
Best!
Michèle

[Data society] Map Fest: 6, 8 and 9 july at Mediamatic
Dear All,
This week a very interesting event takes place at Mediamatic; about mapping and what this can do for society. “Map Fest brings together kindred spirits to explore, create, define and oppose maps.” See http://www.mediamatic.net/
Map Fest takes place at Mediamatic on July 6, 8 and 9. Map Fest brings together kindred spirits to explore, create, define and oppose maps.
We start with an evening ; “>Mapping for Change is about defying and opposing existing structures. It decentralizes power, handing it back to individuals and allowing local communities to organize themselves autonomously. Alternative maps and visualizations are used to challenge and change official policy. They allow for multiple views and voices to live side by side.
The second evening of Map Fest is dedicated to Mapping for Clarity. Guests are Richard Rogers, Catalogtree and De Geuzen. Urban sociologist and researcher Merijn Oudenampsen will be moderating the evening.
Mapping for Clarity is about making sense of data. Abstract sets of numbers are transformed into fluctuating graphs and beautiful visualizations. Power structures and traditional hierarchies are uncovered and defied. Mapping makes the intangible world around us tangible, and influences the way we experience, use and create space.
Sharing ideas and doing it fast. Mediamatic will be hosting the first Ignite Amsterdam night. Central theme of the evening is Mapping.
The rules
The concept is easy. Ignite combines great ideas, the local community, a stage and plenty of drinks, to create thought-provoking, innovative nights. Participants get five minutes (twenty slides for fifteen seconds each) to show and explain their idea. During and after the talks there’s plenty of time for a chat, a beer and a swapping of screen names and phone numbers

G20, toronto
A brief report…
thought some of you might be interested.
these are some photos, maiko (my gf), managed to snap of the march yesterday in Toronto. It gives a sense of who was gathered that day… anti-poverty activists, native activists, Iranian socialists, grandmothers and a pig.
the parade route they're on is actually distant from the actual g20 meeting. immense police presence prevents access to the perimeter fence. but where you see all the cops forming a wall is the main downtown police station.
they also march through 'the village,' toronto's queer neighbourhood, where just a few days ago QuAIA (Queers Against Israeli Apartheid) won a free speech victory against Pride Toronto (pride festival organizing committee), who tried to exclude them from the march.
Incidentally, this almost coincides w/ Judith Butler's controversial rejection of Berlin's Pride Civil Courage Prize recently.

[Corporate identity] Sandberg.nl — Mission Statement
The new design of the sandberg.nl/design website aims to open up a new view on the identity of the school. It explicitly aims to offer a personal and almost intimate insight on the institution. By exposing the designers@sandberg mailinglist, used for personal and pragmatic mailing, we open up the informal side of the institute to the public and place this public in an almost voyeuristic position.
From the very beginning the goal of the website was to mirror the institution in a very personal and direct way. Similarly to how social networks offer themselves as 1. a standard tool for personal use and 2. a network tool for exposure. We wanted to develop a tool that recycles these methods and by doing so offers a critical insight on these pseudo-applications.
This way of thinking immediately set some confined parameters on the type of content we would open up to the public. What kind of content do you expose? We chose to look at things from a backwards angle. Instead of setting up a facade, a wrapping paper bundling up the institution, we chose to show the hidden layers: the inside communications. We turned it inside out. We the students and the tutors, fill up the blank space of the Institute. As we set the Sandberg agenda, we act as the main protagonists in this public scenery.
Our aim, to show the institute through this backwards angle, came when we tried to capture what makes the design masters at Sandberg so particular. We found that a large part of our education finds itself in the communication between the students.
The actual search for design paradigms, the formulation of design strategies are accompanied by discussions that offer rhetorics on the subjects. As a Sandberg student you find the place to question the development of a new practice that relates to our highly mediatized, globalized, commercialized society. This constant questioning of design strategies marks istelf by searches, discussions and speculations. Exactly these processes we wanted to show to the public. A direct and personal insight on the particular processes that shape an institution. By doing this we ignore a specific target audience or a well thought after type of content. We leave the conclusions to the public.
More than being a business cards for outsiders, it is a tool for ourselves. We use it for sharing information and we use it to look up lost information. It functions as a public agenda with announcements, a personal advertising space and an archive of the past years, projects, students, happenings and discussions.
The sandberg website is built as a tool, a standard to be used by the departments. Every department has it’s own installation of the website, it’s own mailinglist, it’s own url and it’s own color. Which content will they share, how will they share, will they hack or misuse the system? It entirely depends on the position of the department.
Therefore the sandberg website offers itself as a tool, an application to be used by the departments. It offers no standard content or positioning. It is a blank system to be used, shared and hacked.
Tomorrow at 10

Vertoning van Staying alive in Jo’burg, een
fascinerende documentaire van Rob
Schröder die je meeneemt je mee naar delen van het centrum
van Johannesburg om gekraakte gebouwen en stedelijk verval te laten
zien. Gevolgd door een gesprek met de regisseur en met kunstenaar Su
Tomesen. Onderdeel van Shadow Cities, een
maandelijkse filmavond gericht op de ‘underdogs’ en ‘outcasts’ die de
steden van de wereld bevolken.
Johannesburg
is de grootste economische metropool van Afrika. De binnenstad is
echter één van de meest gewelddadige gebieden van de wereld. De meeste
kantoorpanden staan leeg of zijn gekraakt en worden bewoond door diverse
groepen illegale Afrikanen uit naburige landen. Duizenden gelukzoekers
proberen er een nieuw bestaan op te bouwen in de wetteloosheid van deze
stedelijke jungle.
De stad maakt zich intussen op voor het WK- voetbal in
2010, hier kan Johannesburg zich op een positieve manier aan de
wereld tonen. De binnenstad wordt schoongeveegd en er wordt alles aan
gedaan om dit grootse evenement probleemloos te laten verlopen. Maar
gaat dit lukken? En welke gevolgen heeft dit voor al die duizenden
immigranten?
Rob
Schröder is vanaf januari 2008 meerdere malen naar Johannesburg
gegaan om de veranderingen in beeld te brengen. Is het mogelijk om deze
stad vol hoop en angst te controleren en de binnenstad veilig en
leefbaar te maken? Hoe kun je überhaupt overleven in Johannesburg?
Kunstenaar en regisseur Su Tomesen uit
Amsterdam werd onlangs uitgenodigd door The Bag Factory
in Johannesburg om 3 maanden als artist-in-residence naar Johannesburg
te komen. Van januari tot begin april 2010 woonde en werkte ze in deze
spannende metropool. Ze deed onderzoek naar zgn. shebeens,
wat oorspronkelijk een illegale bar aan huis is, in de townships ten
tijde van de apartheid in Zuid-Afrika. Samen met lokale kunstenaars en
filmmakers creëerde ze een City
One Minutes, een kort en persoonlijk
filmportret van Johannesburg.

LADUMA!, de Afrikaanderwijk en de FIFA World Cup 2010 in
Zuid-Afrika
“Al tientallen jaren was voetbal verreweg de populairste sport
onder de niet-blanken in Zuid-Afrika. In de jaren twintig en dertig was
er, verspreid over het hele land, een netwerk van zwarte en gekleurde
voetbalcompetities tot stand gekomen. De trek van steeds meer zwarten
naar de steden in de jaren dertig en veertig leidde tot de oprichting
van inmiddels legendarische voetbalclubs, zoals Orlando Pirates, de
Mokone Swallows en de Bucks. De spelers, ook al verdienden ze er meestal
niets mee, werden supersterren en rolmodellen in hun eigen buurt. Met
hun prestaties op het veld bezorgden ze hun gemeenschap plezier en een
gevoel van eigenwaarde.”
Uit: Meer dan een spel. Voetbal vs. Apartheid – Chuck Korr
& Marvin Close
Voetbal, migratie, cultuur en identiteit in relatie tot de specifieke
geschiedenis en hedendaagse realiteit van zowel de Afrikaanderwijk als
Zuid-Afrika staan centraal in het project LADUMA! [1] dat plaatsvindt
tijdens het aanstaande WK Voetbal in Zuid-Afrika (11 juni tot 11 juli
2010).
Een populaire sport als voetbal heeft de potentie om
saamhorigheid en verzoening tot stand te brengen tussen verschillende
culturen en bevolkingsgroepen, ook omdat de liefde voor voetbal niet
gehinderd wordt door status of afkomst: voetbal is een sport die
wereldwijd populair is en toegankelijk voor iedereen.
In het geval
van het WK voetbal in Zuid-Afrika rijzen echter een aantal vragen over
de toegankelijkheid hiertoe voor de lokale bevolking en de voordelen
hiervan voor het gastland, een land met grote sociale contrasten en veel
armoede en achterstand.
Vooral de arme bewoners van de Townships lijken de dupe te worden van
de strenge regie van de FIFA, die een handelsverbod (o.a. op de verkoop
van souvenirs en voedsel/drinken) heeft opgelegd aan de lokale
bevolking en bedrijfjes ten gunste van het eigen gewin en dat van hun
multinationale partners. En dat terwijl voetbal in Zuid-Afrika een sport
is die van origine populair is bij haar niet-blanke inwoners, in
tegenstelling tot rugby, wat daar van oorsprong een strikt blanke sport
was.
LADUMA! wil door middel van een aantal kunstwerken het genot
laten zien dat de populaire sport voetbal kan bieden, maar dit ook
contrasteren met de keerzijde die dit soort mega-evenementen in een land
als Zuid-Afrika met zich meebrengt.
Verder wordt het thema migratie op verschillende manieren onderzocht
tegen de achtergrond van deze sport en de geschiedenis en hedendaagse
realiteit van zowel Zuid-Afrika als de Afrikaanderwijk.
Deze
Rotterdamse wijk was de bakermat van de huidige voetbalclub Feyenoord,
die van 1908 tot 1917 onder de naam Celeritas op het voetbalveld van het
Afrikaanderplein speelde.
De tentoonstelling combineert het werk van beeldend kunstenaars,
fotografen en documentairemakers met documentatiemateriaal dat tevens
inzicht geeft in de praktijken van de organisatoren van het WK 2010, die
tot aan de Zuid-Afrikaanse vlag toe patenteerden ten behoeve van het
creëren van een monopoliepositie voor wat betreft de rechten en
inkomsten van het toernooi.
Speciaal voor LADUMA! wordt
nieuw werk ontwikkeld doorLaura Emsley(Zuid-Afrika/G.B.),Raymond
Cuijpers(Nederland),Musa
Nxumalo(Zuid-Afrika) enSydelle
Willow Smith(Zuid-Afrika). Daarnaast worden

‘Is there such a thing as an autonomous designer?’
After reading Jeroen Boomgaards text ‘Radical Autonomy’ we felt the need to have a discussion about the theme of autonomy and how important it is to use the term and define yourself as a designer or artist. We asked ourselves and the participants the following questions:
_Are you an artist or a designer and can you be both?
_Have you ever made autonomous work, or could you make autonomous work?
_Is there something like non autonomous work of art?
_Is there something like an autonomous designer?
Here you can listen to the discussion that followed.
With Sandberg students: Anja Groten, Michele Champagne and Lauren Grusenmeyer. Donald Beekman, Liza Enebeis, and Akiem Helmling from Typeradio. Nikki Brörmann philosopher and applied ethicsist and Annelys de Vet, head of the design department of the Sandberg Institute. Brigiet van den Berg and Maartje Smits, Sandberg students and moderators.

Dear all… and welcome back to the travellers.
Janneke and I are having an interactive newspaper wall in front of the Rietveld since last week. It turned out that Rietveld students are very good in drawing dicks.
To get more of a diverse image we would like to invite you, the San
on our headlines about European identity and on the other contributions. Tomorrow after Ninas class we would like to treat you with ice cream and go with you for half an hour to the wall and give it some colour!!
Looking forward seeing you tomorrow!

[Autonomy] Art history curiosities…
… following our TypeRadio chit chat about the notion of autonomy in art.
Here are three versions of western art history.
“Because what the academics were doing was boring, the Impressionists
gained popularity, due to their example of allowing an artist do to
whatever they wanted. So by the time Picasso begins working, he’s all
like fuck it, I’ll just draw some crazy shapes and give them eyes and
call it a portrait.”
With a great part near the end about what the Chinese think of Western art.
Best!

(MORELE) VRAGEN VOOR DE (KUNST)ENAAR
EN DE (ZOEK)TOCH NAAR NIEUWE COMMUNICATIE (MIDDELEN)
EN ZUIVERHEID OP (INVLOEDRIJKE) GRIJZE GROND.

“In een land waarin alles en iedereen doortrokken is van sociale nijd, fungeert de kunst als boksbal. Het pijnlijke is dat er altijd zo sukkelig wordt gereageerd. De kunst wordt in Nederland nooit als kunst verdedigd, als iets dat op zichzelf van waarde is.”
Bas Heijne in NRC Handelsblad
Een bijeenkomst met en door kunstenaars over het belang en de (veranderende) rol van kunst in samenleving.
Kunstenaars die urgentie voelen bij het thema uitgenodigd! Meld je aan via info@waltermaashuis.nl, dan krijg je meer informatie.
Kijk ook op http://www.connectingconversations.nl onder Nieuwe Grond
Met Jeroen Boomgaard (lector kunst in de publieke ruimte) die in zijn artikel Radicale Autonomie pleit voor het behouden van de autonomie van de kunst en de kunstenaar. En met Annelys de Vet, directrice Designafdeling Sandberg Instituut die haar studenten een aantal jaar geleden uitdaagde: “Jij bent een jonge ontwerper. Nederland is in crisis. Jij moet je als ontwerper tot die crisis verhouden”. Dit leidde tot de publicatie ‘De Publieke zaak van de grafisch ontwerper’. Hoe kijkt Annelys tegen de huidige maatschappelijke stand van zaken aan en welke opdracht zou zij voor de kunstenaars willen stellen?
Brigiet van den Berg, grafisch ontwerper en deelnemer aan Nieuwe Grond, nam het voortouw voor deze bijeenkomst. Zij presenteerde bij het Sandberg Instituut waar ze momenteel de masteropleiding volgt, haar ‘urgente, prangende, actuele’ vraagstukken als maker in opdracht. Deze vormen nu ook een uitgangspunt voor de bijeenkomst.

Gallery Lev Kaupas Amsterdam, A discussion on the definition of a European identity.
Right now we are working on a self initiated project about the discussion whether Europe needs an identity and what the role of a designer is in this discussion. Does creating an identity for Europe mean creating a fake surface for something that should develop naturally? Should we look only at the past, the history and the heritage when we talk about a definition of European identity? What is the difference between the inside- and the outside view on Europe? Those are some of the questions that we are posing ourselves and that we would like to discuss with an european audience. The first visual part of our research is a notice board which shows home-made advertisements made by people from different layers in society. These hobbyists are all looking on this public podium for an European identity. The announcement’s content is generated through the Google translator, creating an European language.

Poster series: Self generated EU maps for sale.
We created a poster serie of 3 posters that show 3 different self generated EU maps. We looked for each of the 27 members of the European Union on page 27 of the Google image search. Afterwards we placed the photo’s in original image proportion on the geographic spots of the countries on the European map. Herewith we’re creating a new European narrative. In our map, countries become bigger because their Google images are bigger. You see 3 image choices of dutch, English and German Google image search. In the second layer, three different statements are posing the question whether a designer is able to create authenticity in European identity matters.

Video: The Truth According To Wikipedia
broadcast by VPRO’s Backlight programming
…
Google or Wikipedia? Those of us who search online — and who doesn’t? — are getting referred more and more to Wikipedia. For the past two years, this free online “encyclopedia of the people” has been topping the lists of the world’s most popular websites. But do we really know what we’re using? Backlight plunges into the story behind Wikipedia and explores the wonderful world of Web 2.0. Is it a revolution, or pure hype?
Director IJsbrand van Veelen goes looking for the truth behind Wikipedia. Only five people are employed by the company, and all its activities are financed by donations and subsidies. The online encyclopedia that everyone can contribute to and revise is now even bigger than the illustrious Encyclopedia Britannica.
Does this spell the end for traditional institutions of knowledge such as Britannica? And should we applaud this development as progress or mourn it as a loss? How reliable is Wikipedia? Do “the people” really hold the lease on wisdom? And since when do we believe that information should be free for all?
In this film, “Wikipedians,” the folks who spend their days writing and editing articles, explain how the online encyclopedia works. In addition, the parties involved discuss Wikipedia’s ethics and quality of content. It quickly becomes clear that there are camps of both believers and critics.
Wiki’s Truth introduces us to the main players in the debate: Jimmy Wales (founder and head Wikipedian), Larry Sanger (co-founder of Wikipedia, now head of Wiki spin-off Citizendium), Andrew Keen (author of The Cult of the Amateur: How Today’s Internet Is Killing Our Culture and Assaulting Our Economy), Phoebe Ayers (a Wikipedian in California), Ndesanjo Macha (Swahili Wikipedia, digital activist), Tim O’Reilly (CEO of O’Reilly Media, the “inventor” of Web 2.0), Charles Leadbeater (philosopher and author of We Think, about crowdsourcing), and Robert McHenry (former editor-in-chief of Encyclopedia Britannica). Opening is a video by Chris Pirillo.
The questions surrounding Wikipedia lead to a bigger discussion of Web 2.0, a phenomenon in which the user determines the content. Examples include YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, and Wikipedia. These sites would appear to provide new freedom and opportunities for undiscovered talent and unheard voices, but just where does the boundary lie between expert and amateur? Who will survive according to the laws of this new “digital Darwinism”? Are equality and truth really reconcilable ideals? And most importantly, has the Internet brought us wisdom and truth, or is it high time for a cultural counterrevolution?
tomorrow
hi all,
I will be in at 11 AM too to join the rushkoff screening.
