In Progress - Willem de Kooning Academy and Piet Zwart Institute

Willem de Kooning Academy and the Piet Zwart Institute (Networked Media department) will present In Progress. 'In Progress' intends to question 'innovation' in relation to the notion of artistic, process and research based 'progress'.

The works in progress of the bachelor students of Willem de Kooning Academy comment on current hyped and pervasive technologies -- from the industry propagated myth that everyone will easily print 'useful' objects in no time, to the social technologies that tend to disrupt or distract actual human to human contact. external link

The works in progress of the M.A. students of the Networked Media department comment upon mainstream mass communication and networks. Their devices propose alternative scenarios for communication, evolving around downscaling, collaborative communities, interpersonal storytelling and independent, sometimes local networks.
