Discussion
Tori is moderating a series of lectures for the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. The blog for the lectures is at this link, if you care to join our conversation. You can read about the lecture topics here. You might ask yourself why this information is not available on the Rietveld’s own site? Well, this is the topic of my first rant. I have discovered that Dutch art and design sites are about as hard to link to as specific scenes in movies or tv shows. They are more concerned with accurate pixel placement than conversation. It’s been frustrating for me to link to projects and information because they are hidden in flash sites that have, you guessed it, exactly one url.
So much of the Dutch art and culture internet presence is a long and controlled lecture that is at times lovely and fascinating but keeps its distance from us and what we might want to say about it. Isn’t it time for a change? I ask you…
