Call for Papers
Experiencing Design,
- Behaving media –

We cordially invite submissions from artists, designers, theorists and researchers engaged in transdisciplinary inquiry into the concept of design and designing and art as well as technology, and in its relationship to media as a behaving entity. The proposed ambiguity is on purpose and we encourage submitting proposals theorizing design with unusual and unexpected perspectives.
Design is more and more framed as a platform of integration in various scientific communities therefore it will be interesting what it can bring to the foreground framing it with artistic, technological and scientific production and accompanying it with a research perspective.
