The 3rd International Design & Cinema Conference, hosted by the Faculty

submission deadline is 30 June.

The theme for this years conference is design-en-scčne
[di-\'zIn-an-sen]: 1.designing into the scene. 2. Everything
designed that appears before the camera and its arrangement sets,
props, costumes, and lighting. 3. Design and Cinema Conference.

EXHIBITION OF WORKS

Since both design and cinema disciplines have physical outcomes, Design
Cinema 2008 would like to bring practices, researches and creative
outputs together under the \'works exhibition\' and create a rich and
provoking platform during the conference. We are open to all artists,
designers, scientists, professionals, amateurs and students around the
world working in various categories to share their works with us.
Critical and subversive works/interventions are welcomed. Buildings,
environments, products, film, television, computers, costume, games,
sound, all are expected to act as
agents of discussion.

THEME

The moving image has become a powerful medium for the representation of
designed worlds and revolutionized the abstraction of that which is
designed. While designers have become more open to the interests of
cinema, cinema is expansively engaged with issues of design. The aim of
the conference is theorizing and rhetorizing the interpretation and
production of those environments assumed to exist as real, hyper-real
and/or virtual, embracing all hybrid forms.

WORKS CATEGORIES

Design Cinema 2008 offers to participants various categories for
