PROJECT THEME

 

SPACE FOR CULTURE

In five days between 5th and 9th October the project “Open Design Studio 04” considered several possible solutions to intricate issues of the culture of advertising, simultaneously advertising culture in public spaces of the City of Novi Sad. At present, space available for public advertising is strictly market oriented, thus effectively blocking access to available assets for all private individuals, cultural institutions and non-profit organizations. Cultural advertising mechanism represents an important segment within a wide palette of public services, whose regulation, functionality, and efficiency can and must be clearly administered.

SOLUTION / TIME FOR CULTURE

TEAM 02-Marija Dorić,Marija Marić,
Ivana Jancić

The main priority is not the content, nor the place of event, but the time when the event commences. The principle of operation is defined through several phases.

ITS TIME FOR CULTURE !!!

SOLUTION / TIMER

TEAM 03-Tamara Čordaš, Tamara Maksimović

Each individual nurtures within himself / herself a certain dose of apprehension towards the inescapable life clock and is thus stimulated to accomplish, witness, and experience in respectable quality as much as possible in one’s lifetime.

THEREFORE, ALL THERE IS LEFT TO DO IS TO TURN ON YOUR CULTURAL TIMER!

SOLUTION / BLUETOOTH WORM

TEAM 04-Aleksandar Bede, Slobodan Jović,Tomislava Sekulić, Ivan Kalc, Natalija Ninkov, Miroslav Dajč,Bojana Knežević

A shape outline representing a worm notifies random bypassers that information on cultural events held in the city is available at specified urban locations by enabling additional options on their mobile phones.

SOLUTION / PAINT THE CULTURE

TEAM 05-Martin Mistrik, Katarina Lukić Balažikova

Given how the city is presently crammed with posters, the only available option which rules out glue as a bonding agent for applying advertising material is video projection. This solution is ecologically acceptable and is difficult, if not impossible, to violate by applying 3rd party posters over it.

SOLUTION / MANY EYES ON CULTURE

TEAM 06-Martin Uhrik, Brano Škopek

This solution utilizes a software application for text analysis available from the IBM Manyeyes website.Does this mark the end of graphic design as we know it, or is this just another contemptible and low-budget marketing strategy for modern-day advertising culture?
