donderdag 24 mei | tools for creativity
Heather Hopfl (http://www.essex.ac.uk/afm/staff/hopfl.shtm)

Between Behaviour and Representation
Lecture on how organizations learn, produce and create meanings  
through imagery, artefacts and staging.
Heather Höpfl is Professor of Management at the University of Essex

This presentation examines how organizations learn, produce and  
create meanings through imagery, artefacts and staging.  It will use  
Disney as an example of meaning creation but will also consider  
illustrations from a range of other organizations such as Southwest  
Airlines, British Airways and McDonalds.  The presentation will  
consider different aspects of organizational culture and will look at  
examples of visible aspects of culture.  It will look at the ways in  
which these are produced and managed.  The aesthetic interpretation  
of organizational behaviour will be considered in relation to what  
the creation of organization might mean in this context.  The theatre  
of organizations is part of this production of meaning. A further  
aspect of this is concerned with how the analysis of organization can  
be seen in the context of both vision and blindness and what it means  
to speak of abocular (Out of the eye, see http:// 
www.derridathemovie.com/comment-1.html) vision.  I will provide a  
theoretical context for a series of exercises which look at inference  
and meaning; at inferential readings of organizational imagery and  
its meaning; and at the relationship between images of organization  
and its significance to any such interpretation.  It is intended that  
the exercises will draw attention to a range of different  
interpretative issues such as the significance of the standpoint, the  
relationship between rule and role, the accumulative characteristics  
of inference and so forth.

Heather Höpfl is Professor of Management at the University of Essex.  
She is an organizational psychologist and has worked with a range of  
organizations including ICL, the Dept of Social Security, British  
Telecomm, British Airways, and in mental hospitals and prisons.  She  
is currently undertaking research with Southwest Airlines.  She has  
published extensively on organizational symbolism and aesthetics  
including The Aesthetics of Organization with Stephen Linstead and is  
the editor of Culture of Organization.  She is a former chair of  
SCOS, The Standing Conference of Organizational Symbolism and has  
been a regular convenor of the EGOS standing stream on the Philosophy  
of Management with Stephen Linstead for six years.  She gave a  
Keynote Address at the SCMOI conference in Las Vegas in 2007  
entitled, Master and Convert: on women and other strangers.  She is

donderdag 31 mei | visies op design
Theodore Watson (www.muonics.net), David Kousemaker (www.blendid.nl)  
en Tim Olden (www.blendid.nl)

Onder de titel 'Visies op design' organiseert Media Guild een serie  
seminars waarin uiteenlopende visies op media design en media  
technologie centraal staan.
Aan bod komen verschillende benaderingen van webdesign, game design,  
spatial design: de stad als interface, tangible interfaces, locative  
games, etc.
Mediagilde nodigt voor ieder seminar een designer uit die vanuit  
diens visie op design een programma samen stelt.

Het seminar is samen gesteld door Theodore Whatson in samenwerking  
met Mediagilde. Theodore was onder andere verbonden aan Ars  
Electronica (A) en Eyebeam (USA). Hij maakt deel uit van de Graffiti  
Research Lab, waarbinnen hij “Interactive architecture”, “Laser Tag”  
en “KPN Façade” mee ontwikkelde.
Recentelijk werkte Theodore in de USA aan de interactieve expositie  
rond het werk van Michel Gondry.
