As the kick-off seminar of the City Sets research project, the seminar takes a look into urban identities and the narratives of cities as portrayed in visual practice, research and new media. It also presents and discusses the results of the Aalto University School of Art and Design workshop 8-12 Nov 2010, in which these subjects are investigated by art and design students through the realisation of a multiple-point-of-view web narrative of Helsinki and its visual identity.
Join us for the exciting keynote presentations – for example, by François Penz (University of Cambridge), Evert Ypma (Consultation) and Tuula Isohanni (City of Helsinki) – and discussions and project development in 15-16 November 2010!
