Towards an Ethics of Metadesign
Professor Clive Dilnot
(Parsons New School of Design, New York)
This lecture will place some of Professor Dilnot's previous work on design ethics in the context of his very recent research (at Goldsmiths) that explores the idea of 'metadesign'. This AHRC-funded research explores the feasibility of a cross-disciplinary metadesign profession that might be capable of staving off what he foresees as 'the four new horsemen of the Apocalypse', (i.e. Unsustainability, Inequality, Barbarism, and Fear).
Professor Dilnot is an internationally renowned scholar of design who has taught at many universities, including Harvard (USA) and other institutions in the UK. He has lectured, given keynote addresses, and acted as visiting critic at universities and conferences across the world. He has also written extensively on the history and theory of art, design, and architecture. His most recent work is on design ethics, history and theory. Recent publications include 'Ethics? Design?' (Chicago Press, 2005), 'Chris Killip: Pirelli Work' (Steidl, 2007) and several forthcoming studies on design research. He is currently Professor of Design Studies at New School University, New York where he teaches both design and in the University Humanities program. He was Professor of Design Studies and Director of design initiatives at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; directed graduate studies in design in Hong Kong. Previously, a visiting Professor at the University of Technology, Sydney, the University of Illinois in Chicago and Rhode Island School of Design. He has served on the advisory board of The Journal of Design History and is now on the advisory boards of the journals of Writing in Creative Practice (a Goldsmiths initiative), Visual Communication, Design Research Quarterly, and ThRAD (Portugal). Other areas of interest include fine art, history of art, and social philosophy.
