Design Academy Eindhoven Graduation 2019

Fluid Boundary, Yanjin Wu
Like last year, Design Academy Graduation 2019 graduation exhibition took place in the historic industrial building of Campinaterrein.
For this years show a new curatorial approach to presenting the vast selection of 181 was applied.
Forging new connections between the design projects that transcend the traditional structure of the eight bachelor’s and four master’s departments, this year’s exhibition went deeper into uncovering the ideas and ideals that drive this generation of designers.

New generation designers are facing two essential questions:

how do you perceive the world around you, and what character do you play within that world?

In response to this, the 2019 Design Academy Eindhoven graduation show explored to imagine design projects as elements of various possible futures. DAE considers its agency as a community—of makers, users, mentors, students, performers, and viewers—to work together towards the fictional universe(s) of our choice. This year’s show was based on eight worldviews and five design characters evoked by cross-department selections of bachelors’ or masters’ projects.

From 120 bachelors’ projects, eight distinct worlds emerged. Landscape Amnesia relates to the retention or adaptation of cultural memory; Unknown Caller alludes to precarious employment; Training Set imbues artificial intelligence with the complexities of human identity; Seven Continents, One Ocean explores oceanic society under international law. Meanwhile, The Scavengers delves into the innovations of junkyard inhabitants; Hidden Publics examines urban subterfuge; The Guests are confined to therapeutic quarantine; finally, Channel Eight examines the tools used in the post-truth market of influence.
In parallel, the 61 masters’ projects model five different characters, each one a distinct typology of designer: Performer, Critical Observer, Material Appropriator, Situated Agent, and Empath.

Design Academy Eindhoven Graduation show is always my personal highlight of the Dutch Design Week. Again, I am happy to share the picture report from projects from all curatorial sections of the show.
