The project is set up as a> realm of experimentation at the intersections of design-theory and> image-production. It is a laboratory where emerging concepts and> terminologies are set to a series of tests.> > What challenges emerge from the paradoxes that research into Œimaginary> property¹ has given rise to? How could these potentially generate new> rules of production, bearing in mind that property relations are> constantly exchanging meanings? Against this background: do we have to> rethink and re-evaluate the notion of Œdesign¹ as such?> > The research project Imaginary Property consists of three parts that are> inextricably linked up with each other and are to be addressed> simultaneously rather than consecutively.> > The first part is analytical in nature and traces the primarily> non-juridical impact as well as the practical implications of the> concept of Œimaginary property¹ through various disciplines such as> philosophy, psychoanalysis, economics, cybernetics, architecture, new> media and design theory. The analytical part will start off with a> symposium (on 6 June) that shows the scope of the project and its impact> on contemporary design practices. The symposium will bring about an> interview and lecture series in which guest speakers partake.> > The second part consists of a series of evaluations and examinations of> experimental design, Œcounter-design¹ or Œre-design¹ projects. Specific> proposals for new models of ownership based on open-source and free> circulation of networked images will be developed and realized.> Supposing that images are the products of struggles for imagination,> this part examines in a practical way how social relationships are> configured, designed and performed in connection with the images that> are supposed to be owned, used and displayed as one's property.> > Imaginary Property deals with the imagination and the redrawing of> social relationships with people who could also use and enjoy images,> modify or alter images, play images or play with images. Is it possible,> practically and conceptually, to (reverse) engineer Œimaginary> property¹? How to show highly valuable images and visualize processes in> a way that anticipates and allows for modulations, modifications and> unpredictable proliferation? Can a museum redesign a show and make it or> even parts of its collection freely accessible through the digital> public domain? Is it possible for a political campaign to go fully Œopen> source¹? How can such a public release be realized and what would it> actually look like?> > Thirdly, the results of the analytical part and the examinations will be> documented more or less in real-time and made accessible on a multimedia> website. The idea is further to make a publication in print as well as a> collaborative, networked video project.> > The research project Imaginary Property is looking for design> practitioners who wish to tackle fundamental issues and query> conventions of disciplines such as film, multimedia, web design,> networking and architecture. It further seeks to involve theory-minded> researchers who are not afraid of Œan image¹.> > Symposium: 6 June 2008, 4 PM Speakers: Franco Berardi, Anselm Franke,> Florian Schneider> > Candidates interested in this project can apply with a research> proposal. Selected candidates gain the position of researcher at the> Design department of the Jan van Eyck Academie.> > Deadline applications: 15 June 2008.> > The project will start as of Fall 2008.> > For application details and form, see:> > http://www.janvaneyck.nl/_devices/frames_applications.html> or contact> leon.westenberg la janvaneyck.nl> > ------ Fin du message transféré> >
