Visual orientation is the second module in the course Analouge tools and processes. The whole semester is themed “Identity” and in this module we will explore identity through “Me” (“Myself and I”). We will explore it through personal objects as well as through literature, writing and visual work. We are going to work with different visual expressions and analogue technics; do it at home printing, abstract collage and 3D paper work and with image composition in poster format.

In this module you will be
introduce to experimental forms of book production, what is commonly
referred to as “artist books.” You will develop a concept for an
artist book that articulates “belonging”. You are free, but not
required to, build on, use, recycle, edit, reference or otherwise
draw upon any of the theory introduced, materials produced and
technics used in the previous modules of the semester. You will materialize your
concept of “belonging” in the form of a physical artist book.
Keep in mind that this is a very free format. It doesn’t have to
look like a conventional book. It is the concept and its articulation
in a material form or media that is central in this module. We
actively encourage you not to play it safe but to think and work very
experimentally.Module coordinator:
