Description:
The worlds of design and media are in a period of transformation and tumult as industries, technologies and screens converge into increasingly complex, interoperable systems. Some designers and media makers scramble to keep up with these developments, while others flourish in pursuit of new horizons, new media forms, and new opportunities for expression. How do top designers make sure their work rides the wave of convergence, rather than being washed away by it? How does the best contemporary thinking and practice shape the near future of design? Join us for a conversation with three leading figures in the world of design as they discuss the possibilities, problems, and potentials of working in a landscape of shifting design expectations, technologies, and platforms.
When: Monday November 19, 2007, 10:00AM - 11:00 AM PST
