Together the five of us have established SSES, our joint school devoted to offering our students education, training and inspiration in applied entrepreneurship. So, if you are a student of ours: a special welcome! If not, check out our events and seminars.
Experience Design
The Experience Design Group is devoted to innovative interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary practice-led research to create new knowledge in the service of society, culture and the experience economy. Experience Design, a discipline relevant to artists, designers, and critical thinkers, explores and investigates the interplay between meaning and sensation within immersive experiences.
To this end, our work is the creation of hybrid practices and methodologies, synthesizing emerging paradigms of experiential and practical knowledge, history, theory and the experience economy with art and design.
We provide the education and support for students of unusual promise who have the capacity to perceive relevance to their field of study (often furthest from their discipline) and convert it into new forms of knowledge, while managing the high risk of failure that often comes with interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary innovation. The department’s integration of curricula from an ever widening array of disciplines, in unique alliances, provides an innovative interpretation of interdisciplinarity that distinguishes Konstfack from all other peer-institutions.
