The aim of the Crypto Design Workshop is to “go diving” into the Deep Web, to decrypt its content, and explore how these hidden infrastructures could be empowering, hospitable, and inspiring. During this 2-day workshop, participants set out to find new tangible and visual metaphors that contribute to an understanding of the Deep Web beyond the iceberg and navigation metaphors. The workshop will kick-off with the talks Masks and Camouflage as Artistic Cryptographic Strategies about crypto-inspired art by researcher Patricia de Vries, A Guided Tour Through the Clear, Deep and Dark Web by film director Anthony van der Meer, and Cryptographic Collectibles: the Materiality of Cryptography by designer Tim Brouwer. Loes Bogers, design researcher at the MakersLab at the University of Applied Sciences Amsterdam, will lead the rest of the workshop.
Crypto Design Workshop is an extension of the Crypto Design Challenge that was first held in the Netherland in 2015 and resulted in an exhibition at the Museum of the Image in Breda and the Z33 House of Contemporary Art in Hasselt. In 2016 the edition entitled Deep Web culminated in a symposium and an exhibition at the Club Paradiso in Amsterdam. Posters of all nominees of that edition will be on display in the venues of the Department for Visual Communication of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design until mid-May 2018.
Join the Crypto Design Workshop to explore the Deep Web and find new ways to visualize the nooks and crannies of the hidden parts of the internet.
