05.07.2004 News
Brussels (Belgium) - GraficEurope will present today's most intriguing practitioners working on the frontlines of design's ever-expanding territory. Focussing on the themes of Locality and Craft, presenters of this year's conference will explore the questions: What are the tensions inherent in being local in a global society? What is the value of local identity, a sense of place, belonging to a culture? And how is graphic design redefining craft knowledge for the twenty-first century? Conference participants will discover the sources of inspiration, passions, and politics that feed the working processes of over 25 speakers engaged in the most extraordinary design thinking and practice today.

In his keynote speech, visual culture critic Rick Poynor will look at the way in which design has changed from creating actual things, a practice rooted in the here and now, to something less material and more geographically dislocated. Ease of interconnection with clients and exposure to distant audiences brought new opportunities, but also intensified the unease that 'here' matters less than elsewhere. Forecasters predict a continuing retreat of skilled labour into the digital cocoon of the networked home. How to reconnect with reality?
