Nir Scheyer, Graduate of the Department of Visual Communication, Presents His Work in the London Design Biennale's Physical Exhibition: "Design in an Age of Crisis"
After his exhibition in the London Design Biennale’s online exhibition, Nir Scheyer, a graduate of the Department of Visual Communication, has been chosen to present his work in the Biennale’s physical exhibition as well.
The new exhibition, which has opened its doors to artists and designers from all over the world, touches on wide-ranging human topics that have come up since the coronavirus pandemic, including the state of global health, climate change, economic disparities in our society, and the pressing changes paving the way into the unknown.
Together with curator and professor Hila Shaltieli, Nir presents his senior project in the exhibition: "ANIMA(L)TED” (supervised by Nadav Barkan and Yoav Gati), a typological, mythological, graphic study of hybrid identity, which documents the development of ideas, thoughts, and creative processes activated by connections that are not always obvious.
"ANIMA(L)TED" is a computerized system of rules allowing the creation of thousands of new symbols from just a few basic symbols. "ANIMA(L)TED" is the result of formal/graphic research aimed at expanding the field of creativity while processing it into a tool for contemporary and imaginative thinking.
