Transmission in Motion Seminar (2020-2021): “Knowledge in Making – Design by Doing”

October 1, 2020/in News /by Eloe Kingma

Transmission in Motion Seminar (2020-2021): “Knowledge in Making – Design by Doing”

This year’s Transmission in Motion seminar finds itself inspired by approaches to knowing that zoom in on experimental practices of ‘making’. Making, here, is understood as a form of ‘design by doing’. Such practices of designing a technological device, an artistic concept or a didactic plan embrace unpredictability and contingency by refraining from adhering to step-by-step methods or tick-box approaches. The very point of the practices is to design the most suitable method or approach in ‘the now’ by following the complex interplays of social and technological affordances and constraints. Engineers and makers in studios and makerspaces design by doing by responding productively to both parameters set and opportunities emerging in dynamic situations and environments. More and more scholars participate in these co-creative settings thus innovating the research process.
