Wrap-up | In Time and Place: Shaping New Temporal Horizons
Exhibition & round table conference in English open to all sectors, moderated by Sophie Krier
What happened in the space of one week? Can we detect missing links? To which new horizons do the produced works and thoughts open up to? Can some of them be extended and shared beyond In Time and Place, where, with whom and how?
During the workshop that took place at ENSAD on the 8th February 2016, together with 30 students, we explored the potential of “Transition Design” in the neighbourhood of Montreuil; a design that “focusses on the need for cosmopolitan localism, a lifestyle that is place-based and regional, yet global in it’s awareness and exchange of information and technologies.” In collaboration with the Écofablab of Montreuil, we designed solutions for the needs of the neighbourhood, researching local waste materials and economies; envisioning the Ecofablab, and digital technologies, as production means for our prototypes.

Holland’s Zuiderzee Museum commissioned Dutch designer Maarten Baas to create a real time clock that reflects the museum’s approach, combining both timelines of the past and present. In real time, Maarten Baas expresses his perception of time by filming volunteers taking over the function of the hands of a clock thus affecting the way that time is shown.

TAC, Eindhoven – during Dutch Design Week
20 – 28 October 2012
The industrial revolution was a revolution for engineers. Now designers are at the forefront of a new revolution. They are part of networks that enable them to develop new materials and systems, build their own machines, and seek new tools for production and distribution. These developments offer an alternative to mass production and open paths to a new economy and society.
New machines impact society. This is clearly highlighted in the area of Genk, with its history of being an industrial leading city in Flanders. The Machine shows how new machines in our lives and our society will shape the future. The concept of The Machine is in contrast with the industrial past of C-mine as a former mining area, where the contemporary machinery marks Genk as one of the most prominent industrial cities of Flanders.
Design Hub Limburg presents The Machine, an interactive exhibition, accompanied by an extensive program with workshops, events and designers in residence. There will be a fashion workshop by DSGNRMRKT, a broad introduction into 3-D printing, and a workshop in collaboration with Fablab Genk around the hacking of everyday devices. A network evening will bring industry and designers together for an exchange about future business. In order to give an insight in the design process, a selection of designers will be invited for a residency at C-Mine.
