> http://www.janvaneyck.nl> > Imaginary Property, a new research project of the
> Design department,> initiated by Florian Schneider, aspires to explore new
> potentials for> design practices across various registers. The project is set
> up as a> realm of experimentation at the intersections of design-theory and>
> image-production. It is a laboratory where emerging concepts and>
> terminologies are set to a series of tests.> > What challenges emerge from
> the paradoxes that research into Œimaginary> property¹ has given rise to? How
> could these potentially generate new> rules of production, bearing in mind
> that property relations are> constantly exchanging meanings? Against this
> background: do we have to> rethink and re-evaluate the notion of Œdesign¹ as
> such?> > The research project Imaginary Property consists of three parts that
> are> inextricably linked up with each other and are to be addressed>
> simultaneously rather than consecutively.> > The first part is analytical in
> nature and traces the primarily> non-juridical impact as well as the
> practical implications of the> concept of Œimaginary property¹ through
> various disciplines such as> philosophy, psychoanalysis, economics,
> cybernetics, architecture, new> media and design theory. The analytical part
> will start off with a> symposium (on 6 June) that shows the scope of the
> project and its impact> on contemporary design practices. The symposium will
> bring about an> interview and lecture series in which guest speakers
> partake.> > The second part consists of a series of evaluations and
> examinations of> experimental design, Œcounter-design¹ or Œre-design¹
> projects. Specific> proposals for new models of ownership based on
> open-source and free> circulation of networked images will be developed and
> realized.> Supposing that images are the products of struggles for
> imagination,> this part examines in a practical way how social relationships
> are> configured, designed and performed in connection with the images that>
> are supposed to be owned, used and displayed as one's property.> > Imaginary
> Property deals with the imagination and the redrawing of> social
> relationships with people who could also use and enjoy images,> modify or
> alter images, play images or play with images. Is it possible,> practically
> and conceptually, to (reverse) engineer Œimaginary> property¹? How to show
> highly valuable images and visualize processes in> a way that anticipates and
> allows for modulations, modifications and> unpredictable proliferation? Can a
> museum redesign a show and make it or> even parts of its collection freely
> accessible through the digital> public domain? Is it possible for a political
> campaign to go fully Œopen> source¹? How can such a public release be
> realized and what would it> actually look like?> > Thirdly, the results of
> the analytical part and the examinations will be> documented more or less in
> real-time and made accessible on a multimedia> website. The idea is further
> to make a publication in print as well as a> collaborative, networked video
> project.> > The research project Imaginary Property is looking for design>
> practitioners who wish to tackle fundamental issues and query> conventions of

> architecture. It further seeks to involve theory-minded> researchers who are
> not afraid of Œan image¹.> > Symposium: 6 June 2008, 4 PM Speakers: Franco
> Berardi, Anselm Franke,> Florian Schneider> > Candidates interested in this
