Each of these bod- ies have a strong core commitment not only to the arts and to Arts and Design education but also to widening access and participation to these subjects through their study at FE, undergraduate and postgraduate level. Initial meetings between the four bodies identified the value in bringing together and celebrating a significant range of projects and research aimed at improving access and widening participation which deserved to be shared with the subject community in the arts and with the HE sector more widely. It also identified some areas that merited further research, driven by a collective awareness that there remained much work still to be done, and that notwithstanding some successful work, any idea that widening access and participation had been fully addressed must be avoided. A competitive selection process led to the appointment of Dr Dipti Bhagat and Dr Peter O’Neil as editors, supported by an editorial advisory board. The advisory board would like to thank Dipti and Peter for their commitment to the project. 6 General Introduction Since 2008 there have been significant central policy changes, which have affected funding for both the arts and for higher education. Given these changes, which threaten the ability of these areas to continue to work on widening access and participation, we believe that the need to continue, and to improve our working practices remains a key activity if the progress that has been made is not to be put at jeopardy. This volume shows the commitment of the arts and design sector in HE to take seriously the need to widen participation and gives examples of projects that have had significant success in doing this. It also shows the complexity of the task and illustrates the difficulties we all face in being successful. Notwithstanding these difficulties, we remain optimistic that the creativity and commitment of the Art and Design sector will see further progress made and hope that we may see a successor volume at a future point which will be able to demonstrate this progress.

Existing in the context of the 2008 financial and subsequent political crisis, both this thesis and my work are situated in an expanded field of graphic design. This research examines the emergence of the terms critical design and critical practice, and aims to develop methods that use criticism during the design process from a practitioner’s perspective. Central aims of this research are to address a gap in design discourse in relation to this terminology and impact designers operating under the banner of such terms, as well as challenging practitioners to develop a more critical design practice. The central argument of this thesis is that in order to develop a critical practice, a designer must approach design as criticism.

  • Adaptive Assembly
    Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. Please cite Metadesigners Open Network http://metadesigners.org/ This is a draft for the Journal of Writing in Creative Practice (eds. Julia Lockheart & John Wood). Volume 1, Number 2, © Intellect Ltd, July 2008 http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=7854/ Adaptive Assembly Peter Spring, PhD [email protected] Abstract ‘Adaptive Assembly’ is the name I have given to an integrative tool that I designed to harmonize participatory practices, creatively. This is needed because gaps in mutual understandings commonly emerge where collaborative teams include members from different disciplinary backgrounds and/or cognitive styles. Adaptive Assembly is a new approach to closing the gap between dispersed information and a task’s participants. Here, co-authorship is also a cooperative act; therefore writing can be understood within the same terms of reference as design practice. For writers, Adaptive Assembly situates information in an ecological context by which to enable inter-relationships, and from which, newly dynamic information can emerge (e.g., subjects and hidden contexts). The benefit of this ecological method draws participants such as co-authors together to enable a focus and maps out paths towards its realization (e.g., chapters and their categories), each to be envisaged and implemented, incrementally. Keywords Benefit, design, ecology, ecosystems, evolution, the memetic In seeking to develop a fresh approach and enable a new, common language for ecological, and ecologies of, practice, and to design creative responses to often- complex challenges, I explored evolutionary theories in some depth and detail (i.e., in my postgraduate studies on my MA Design Futures programme at Goldsmiths, University of London and then, as a basis of my PhD studies).

Making Connections in a Safe Place: Is Dreaming Psychotherapy? Dreaming, 5: 213-228. • Dreaming and psychotherapy involve the freeing of associations, without acting out, in a safe environment. • Dreaming and psychotherapy can make connections between trauma and other relevant memories. Dreams at first replay the trauma, but then change to include related material, using metaphor. • During this change the same dominant emotion remains • Dreaming makes more broad and peripheral connections than does waking thought Another theory is….. • Revonsuo’s (2000) Threat simulation theory. • This is a virtual reality theory, as opposed to mnemonic or emotional processing theories • This theory holds that dreaming is a selective simulation of the waking world and its threats • In dreaming we practice overcoming the threats • Revonsuo et al. (2015) have now amended this theory to include dreaming being a simulation of social reality, as well as of physical threats.

  • Welcome to the Fake: Photography and the Politics of Authenticity Saturday 14 July 11.00 – 16.00
    Welcome to the Fake: Photography and the Politics of Authenticity Saturday 14 July 11.00 – 16.00 What are the relationships between urban photography and the politics of ‘the fake’, in a time of shifting perspectives around what constitutes ‘the real’? Photography has for some time struggled with core questions around how the world of experience and perception relates to the world ‘out there’. Philosophers, historians, artists and urbanists have become increasingly interested in the roles mediation, selection and framing play within the visual representations of so- called truth. This symposium questions, challenges and expands on some key issues relating to politically engaged photography. A range of subjects are explored such as street photography, urban design, communities, the politics of change and gentrification through several case studies. Organised as part of the ongoing Cities of Light symposia series by Goldsmiths, Open Vizor and UPA – The Urban Photographers Association. Events will be held in Paris, London, Lisbon, Cork, Barcelona and Düsseldorf. #CitiesofLightLondon Schedule: 11.00 Keynote: Paul Halliday Democracy Wall: Photography in an Age of Silence 11.30 Panel One: Photography does Politics 11.30 Laura Cuch Spiritual Flavours: Food and Faith in West London 11.50 Alma Tischlerwood YOU ARE NOT HERE ↗ 12.10 Tanya Houghton Songlines of the Here+Now 12.30 Q&A chaired by Peter Coles 13.00 Lunch 14.30 Panel Two: Photography and the Neoliberal City 14.30 John Wood The Hollow Eye 14.50 Gill Golding Welcome to the Fake 15.10 Bas Losekoot Private Lives in Public Spaces 15.30 Q&A chaired by Peter Bennett 16.00 Drinks Abstracts & Biographies Paul Halliday Democracy Wall: Photography in an Age of Silence In this talk, photographic artist and urbanist Paul Halliday will focus on his recently completed project Democracy Wall.

  • Co-Designing Team Synergies Within Metadesign

Please cite Metadesigners Open Network http://metadesigners.org/ Wood, J., (2010), “Co-designing Team Synergies within Metadesign”, paper given at the “Young Creators for a Better City and a Better Life” conference, Shanghai, CUMULUS conference, September 8th, 2010 Co-designing Team Synergies within Metadesign John Wood, Emeritus Professor of Design, Goldsmiths University of London, London, SE14 6NW, UK Email: [email protected] Abstract In seeking solutions to the world’s major problems this paper calls upon governments to support the development of a more comprehensive, ‘joined-up’ field of co-design that would facilitate the required behavioural changes within society. This will entail re- designing design as a form of ‘metadesign’. Where, traditionally, ‘design’ delivers desired conditions in the future metadesign would also need to attend to conditions in the present. It would not only focus its attention onto objects, images, services or relations but it would also combine them in ways that produce synergy. Here, the term ‘synergy’ refers to an abundance of value that exceeds the sum of its ingredient parts. The ultimate indicator of success for metadesign would be an emergent ‘synergy-of-synergies’. While metadesign offers enormous advantages by reducing our dependency upon finite resources, making it work is not straightforward. For example, broadening the repertoire of design would make it more complex and elusive, because metadesign methods tend to blur distinctions between design and designer, and between foreground and context. Teamwork within metadesign therefore becomes far more important than it is within design. The paper offers a theory of ‘team-consciousness’ and describes how collaborative team synergies can be mapped.

By way of illustration, the author proposes a non-linear writing method that, when supported by good tutelage, renders plagiarism virtually impossible. The system grew out of the Design Futures, Masters in Art (M.A.), at Goldsmiths University of London, which help designers to write more usefully, and to enable them to re-purpose their writing. This tetrahedral writing structure was designed to subvert imposed rigour by fostering a more dynamic, collective, ethical and entrepreneurial approach.
