Crossing the Line: The 2010 D-Crit Conference
On April 30, 2010, the D-Crit program culminates in an annual public conference, conceived and organized by graduating students, in which they present papers based on their theses, alongside professional design critics and thinkers. Students’ topics range from the design of personal memorial objects to the use of smell as a communicative tool in design and architecture and from design and visual language in the films of Jean-Luc Godard to the applications and implications of car sharing.
The conference will be a fast-paced day-long event, moderated by author and NPR’s “Studio 360″ host Kurt Andersen. Keynote speakers John Thackara and Peter Hall will speak to different facets of contemporary critical practice, while the 15 graduating students will each give very short presentations on their thesis topic.
The conference is partly a débutante event for the students—to give them an opportunity to show their work to potential employers, collaborators and publishers—partly an exercise in conference organization, since students are charged with curating the conference themselves, and partly an event for a wider public interested in new developments in design discourse.
