Opening Party: December 8th, 3-8pm
Exhibition Continues: Saturday 9th, 12-6pm.
Where: CIID, Toldbodgade 37b, Copenhagen K, 1253

This year’s Final Exhibition will showcase a wide range of design solutions through an impressive collection of tangible and visual prototypes. Our Interaction Design Programme students have followed an intense curriculum and the Final Exhibition sets out to reflect their new found knowledge and skill-sets.

The 23 final projects will demonstrate the multi-disciplinary, exploratory and potentially disruptive nature of Interaction Design and Service Design. We hope that the projects won’t stop at this exhibition and that people will continue to develop their concepts into actual products and services that will impact positively on the lives of those they are designed for.

…share the moment.
…connect with strangers.
…make an appointment.

We’re opening the doors to the IDP studio so you can enjoy a beer while looking at a series of concepts for apps that do one of the above – really well!

When: 4-6pm, Friday, June 5th
Where: CIID, Toldbodgade 37b, 1253, Copenhagen K, DENMARK

Please let us know if you are coming so we can make sure we have enough beers in the fridge.

In object-oriented homes, nothing has special status. Everything exists equally — plumbers, cotton, bonobos, DVD players, and sandstone, for example. The house is built for us as much as it is for objects.

Lets imagine sitting in a house where objects are agents or domesticated robots.

They do stuff for us, they influence us to towards our – and their – goals. They can do the right thing, they can fail, they can do it subtly or also very directly, they can have utilitarian or only emotional value. We can be their main users or objects can be their users.

……….

Come and see a series of projects produced on the Interaction Design Programme as part of a 2 week ‘Secret Life of Objects’ workshop taught by Joshua Noble (Teague, Seattle) and Simone Rebaudengo (Frog, Shanghai).

When: 4-6pm – Friday, May 22nd, 2015

Where: CIID, Toldbodgade 37b, 1253, Copenhagen K, DENMARK (1st floor studio)

SDN-DK and CIID have the pleasure to present David Sherwin this Thursday at 5 p.m. at Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design. The event is free of charge and professionals as well as students are welcome.

Design Is Hacking How We Learn

The next big disruption in lifelong learning will be by design. We are innately trained and poised to have a global impact on how other people can survive and thrive, whether they are designers or not.

In this talk, David Sherwin will point out opportunities for today’s designers to help create this change, sharing work his teams have done with the Girl Effect to empower girls living in extreme poverty and with Frog Design’s Collective Action Toolkit, which in its first year of release has been used worldwide by tens of thousands of non-designers in multiple languages.

David Sherwin is a creative director and interaction designer that has written multiple books that help people become better problem solvers and business thinkers, including Creative Workshop: 80 Challenges to Sharpen Your Design Skills and Success by Design: The Essential Business Reference for Designers. He is a an Interaction Design Director at frog, a global product strategy and design firm, and a Senior Lecturer at California College of the Arts in the BFA in Interaction Design program.

In his free time, he mentors designer-led startups for The Designer Fund, as well as speaks and teaches internationally at many conferences and design schools. He lives in Oakland, California, with his wife, the poet and writer Mary Paynter Sherwin.

David Gauthier and Jamie Allen from CIID’s research team are taking up the incredible opportunity of the Transmediale 2014 residency project.

The project will be in a research and workshop mode for most of 2013, switching into production of a festival-scale artistic work for the winter festival in Berlin. From the project description, “These are the unnoticed, assumed and taken-for-granted resources and reserves of matter, energy, signals and data that enframe the possibility of an art-and-technology practice.”

Exciting times for our research team, and exciting prospects and projects coming soon to Berlin!

Transmediale is an annual festival for media art and digital culture taking place for one week in February in Berlin, Germany. The festival engages in reflective, aesthetic and speculative positions in between art, technology and culture.

Within the scope of its annual festival, transmediale includes exhibitions, conferences, film and video programmes, live performances and publications.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE is a transmediale project collaboration unfolding throughout the autumn of 2013, funded through the Canada Council of the Arts.
