Typeradio Podcast

‘Is there such a thing as an autonomous designer?’ After reading Jeroen Boomgaard’s text ‘Radical Autonomy’, we felt the need to have a discussion about the theme of autonomy and how important it is to use the term and define yourself as a designer or artist. We asked ourselves and the participants the following questions: + Are you an artist or a designer and can you be both? + Have you ever made autonomous work, or could you make autonomous work? + Is there something like non autonomous work of art? + Is there something like an autonomous designer? Here you can listen to the discussion that followed. Attending were Sandberg students Anja Groten, Michele Champagne and Lauren Grusenmeyer, Typeradio’s Donald Beekman, Liza Enebeis and Akiem Helmling, philosopher and applied ethicist Nikki Brörmann and Annelys de Vet, head of the design department of the Sandberg Institute. Moderated by Sandberg students Brigiet van den Berg and Maartje Smits. Recorded September 27, 2
