Information Design

MA Information Design is a programme dedicated to the exploration of the politics and agency of information and its modes and contexts of production. It operates as an outpost for research and an arena for the interrogation of ideas and practices within and beyond the field of design. By rejecting pre-defined professional roles, the programme foster the development of individual and collaborative trajectories that empower the designer to become an intellectual figure, who can decode and re-code complexity within a fluid landscape of possible engagements—from autonomous artistic practices to strategic roles within small collectives or large institutions.

Designers, curators and theorists work in a world in flux. They are faced with complex themes that cannot be reduced to readily solvable design problems. More and more often, they stray beyond the boundaries of their disciplines, and the themes they focus on merit the critical view of well-informed creative minds.
