Vince Dziekan Position Statement Monash University In response to the call to “address the emerging context, which acknowledges that in recent years, media and information-technology shifts have changed the cultural landscape of design and designing”, this paper will contribute to the discourse of design’s fluid interrelationship with cultural activity and production by focussing on the resulting formation of art, new technology and the design of its institutions. If art since the advent of Modernism can be characterized by any single quality it would have to be its diversity… however, across the breadth of such aesthetic and stylistic difference remains its common, primary destination: the Museum.

  • 2021 Guide for International Students
    2021 Guide for International Students — What’s next... A message from the Vice-Chancellor Martin Bean At RMIT we focus on giving everyone the chance to be their best, shape their future and belong. That’s what our Ready for Life and Work strategy is all about and thanks to the passion of our extraordinary people we’re making it a reality. We exist to prepare our students for workplaces that are rapidly evolving and we play a part in shaping a changing world. It began in 1887 when Francis Ormond had a vision for helping workers acquire real-world skills. The people of Melbourne matched his enthusiasm to start a very practical place of learning where students would leave ready for employment. We still live this vision today – but now on a global scale. RMIT has been part of every new development in work and industry since our inception. As society and the economy have become more sophisticated and complex, RMIT has grown and changed alongside. Now, we’re a global university of design, technology and enterprise, with more than 93,000 students and 10,000 amazing teachers and staff who proudly live and breathe our purpose every day. We’re passionate about the communities we’re part of and we’re driven to make a purposeful contribution. We shape the world with our research and impactful partnerships with industry, government and enterprise. We provide life-changing experiences when we give our students their first, second or even third opportunity to prepare for the world of work they aspire to.
