Project Description

inter*printer refers to the in-between state that connects analog and digital publishing processes, as well as the the connection and interpersonal networking between individuals and collectives.

During d*sign week, the inter*printer is a collaborative process involving collecting, documenting, visualizing, curating, translating, publishing, reflecting, analyzing, learning, discussing, experimenting.

Taking place throughout the d*sign week, the inter*printer as a collective action of experiencing the programme, actively involving the participants of the festival in documenting what happens in each event, like a “collective network printer”. Everyone is invited to contribute creatively with notes, scribbles, photos and texts that can be placed in shared folders and physical boxes. Special tools and concepts for documentation will also be made available to visitors of the d*sign week.

The collection is then processed in a daily editorial routine lead by Collectors Collective, a group of students of the Department of Visual Communication from the University of Arts Linz, together with Potato Publishing.

Each day the notes, drawings, photos and texts from the day before are edited & published, in prints and publications that visualize and explore discussions, workshops and ideas, and also create new connections across the festival programme. After each session the content will be digitalized and feed back to the d*signwiki as a digital archive.

Who can participate?

Visitors of the dsign week are warmly invited to share their impressions and notes and make them available to the editorial process.

How to submit?

Via upload to: https://cloud.servus.at/s/4FXKW9SQRDr97yL or in person at the event.

Collectors Collective

This D*signweek, students from the Master's program in Visual Communication co-create an editorial and documentation of the program's workshops and talks. Together, we reflect on who participates in the design process—whether as designers or as addressees—and how design connects the needs and everyday lives of both. Understanding the person for whom we design, along with their needs, is a fundamental aspect of any creative process.

Equally, the designer’s context and practice significantly influence the outcome. Tools, materials, and design processes shape how information is experienced. As a discursive practice, design navigates these elements while pursuing aesthetic and artistic goals. If “contemporary design” is often seen as exclusive, how can we make it more inclusive? How do we balance accessibility with the evolving language of visual communication?

The exploration of approaches and tools during the festival fosters collective learning, reflection, and knowledge exchange. By asking “For who(m) is the making?”, we aim to radically open the design process, creating spaces for new perspectives, alliances, and networks of solidarity.
