Louise Vormittag’s Lecture + First experiments on translating memory through the archive

Louise Vormittag’s Lecture + First experiments on translating memory through the archive

Although this is just a quick experiment based on a single visit to the archive, I think there's so much opportunity to explore more around the relationship between memory and materiality focused on a single place and culture as a starting point for further research. I'm excited to see where the project goes moving forward and how I can engage with this idea of local memory in East Anglia through Graphic Communication Design.

Reflections on a visit to the Norwich & Norfolk Heritage Centre

A visit to the Norfolk Heritage Centre at the Millennium Library made me realise the sense of permanence that is attached to the printed medium, and how the intentions of the printed object can still be read hundreds of years later. The flexibility of dematerialised mediums of communication provides a start contrasts to the permanence of physical artefacts and printed information. What is the importance of permanence in a fast changing world? 
Week 4 / Positions Through Triangulating

Week 4 / Positions Through Triangulating

Through my latest experiments I have discovered the role of the designer as a facilitator, which has opened my eyes to myriad of possibilities of how to situate my practice. This week’s highlights have been: the “Technology” cross-year workshop (In relation to the ideas around interfaces and Adhocism as my antithesis), new thoughts on my developing research question (In relation to the designer as facilitator and where I see potential to investigate further).
Week 2 / Studio – Positions Through Triangulating

Week 2 / Studio – Positions Through Triangulating

This week I delve into narrative through a poignant personal memory, centred around a man's departure for war from Oxford Railway Station in 1941. This exploration resonates strongly with my investigation of material mediums and the rematerialisation of information, offering multi-faceted perspectives on the story. As I explore the changing natures of narrative in the digital age, I delve into the relationship between medium as a mediator or interface, and move on from the idea of medium merely as a tool or process.
