We cordially invite you on Thursday 5 December at 7pm for another edition of Design Drinks & Talks. Our inspiration and networking gathering for creatives and anyone interested! And this time in partnership with the new Creativ'Up project.
This time, on Thursday 5 December at 19h00, we will meet at the Deelfabriek, the old fire station in Kortrijk that was redeveloped into a meeting place where civic initiatives, the neighbourhood and the city find each other.
With talks by transdisciplinary artist Pierre Pauze, multidisciplinary designer and Designer in Residence in Kortrijk Yufei Gao and digital artist Thomas Israel.
Sprekers
Pierre Pauze is a transdisciplinary artist who explores the changes brought about by new technologies, particularly through new modes of representation and communication (such as memes) and the emerging mythologies associated with internet culture.
Yufei Gao is a multidisciplinary designer and currently Designer in Residence in Kortrijk. She explores how design can serve as a powerful tool to raise awareness around societal challenges. She focuses on the project ‘Gaia, How Are You Today?’ where she uses parametric design and data as tools for storytelling.
Thomas Israel's transdisciplinary approach to digital art revolves around social and humanistic themes, body, time and subconsciousness. Some of his works are part of the collections of MoMA, Jewish Museum of Belgium, Galila's P.O.C & Abattoirs of Toulouse. His work integrates various artificial intelligence tools.
