COmmunicating COmplexity 4
2CO Conference
2CO4 → Barcelona → 4–5 July 2024
Generated by a consortium of European Universities that in 2011 started to collaborate in the InformAnimation project, and by fellow Universities active in visual design teaching and research, COmmunicating COmplexity aims at becoming an international reference point for research and education in communicating complexity through new media.
Shaped as a quasi-scientific society of designers / researchers, 2CO is a project sparked in 2013 wit...
Cultural Pasts – The Tangible, Intangible & the Digital
Seen through these lenses when we think about heritage (whether related to the city, an art object, a designed artefact or a cultural product) we are obliged to consider issues that are, often at the same time, tangible, intangible and increasingly digital.

Design Culture(s)
Design Culture(s) is investigating not simply on the concept of culture as a monolithic expression of a specific knowledge that reflects on itself, but as the product of an investigation that is open to many different “Cultures” which are emerging and revolving around it in society, in the places and in history.
Online Education: Teaching in a Time of Change
Recent events across the world of academia have brought into full light the various agendas around online education and research. As universities, schools and colleges closed across the world in 2020, researchers, teachers and students scrambled to adapt to a whole host of new pedagogical tools, communicative techniques, learning methods and teaching styles almost overnight. Some survived, others thrived, while some struggled and ultimately went ‘out of business’.
DESAIGN – The Impact of artificial Intelligence (AI) on Contemporary Design
These developments in AI pose a significant threat to many design professionals who will be replaced by artificial intelligence that will make human labour redundant. However, the integration of AI systems into the design process also provides new opportunities: collaboration with AI systems allows for design on a level of complexity and scale that human cognition cannot encompass. Therefore, based on the recognition of the creative capabilities of the machine, the challenge for designers today ...

Transdisziplinäre Design: un remix di possibilità / a remix of possibilities
[ITA] La transdisciplinarietà è un nuovo territorio, dove le mono-discipline tendono a remixarsi tra loro per una conoscenza della conoscenza: discipline in transizione. Il design potrebbe essere uno strumento per ricostruire una profonda riflessione sulla complessità della società, che va oltre.

La Complessità come problema, sistema e risorsa
Pordenone, 23 Maggio 2018
Ore 09:30 - 17:30 presso Consorzio Universitario - Pordenone FVG
Se i problemi che ci assillano: ambiente, alimentazione, lavoro, povertà, salute, sono generati da una rete di fattori che si configurano in modo ricorsivo e sistemico, il pensiero abilitato alla loro soluzione sarà plausibilmente un pensiero anch’esso “a rete”. Il problema è che questo nuovo paradigma cognitivo che, in definitiva, è lo stesso che regola i processi in natura, non ci viene spontaneo m...
Pordenone Design Week 2018
La VII edizione della Pordenone Design Week consolida il rapporto tra le eccellenze internazionali del design, il campus universitario di Pordenone e il territorio. Un percorso che si snoda in diversi modi: dai workshop dove gli studenti di disegno industriale lavorano per fornire nuovi concept alle aziende locali; passando per i convegni tematici con i massimi esponenti del settore e le innovative lezioni in vetrina: una ricetta che attraverso i negozi del centro storico porta il design ai citt...
Gli strumenti dell’interazione
Spesso tendiamo a non avere più la consapevolezza di quanto la dimensione tecnologica e artificiale sia stata interiorizzata nelle nostre abitudini: sicuramente la maggior parte di noi se in questo momento desse uno sguardo intorno a sé (e probabilmente anche su di sé) potrebbe scoprire ed improvvisamente prendere coscienza con stupore di quanta parte di ciò che lo circonda derivi da processi tecnologici. Oggetti, utensili, supporti, costruzioni, veicoli, mezzi di comunicazioni, ... forse l'elen...
