Fragile Surface
IED x Artribune
As of September 2022, IED has been producing covers for Artribune magazine. Central contemporary themes such as the blurred boundaries between artistic disciplines, the contamination between art and technology, the relationship between humanity and nature, the intersection between reality and virtuality will be told through images and multimedia content created by students and alumni. The multidisciplinary approach that has always been at the heart of IED's teaching methodology and the contents of Artribune allow an in-depth study of the artistic and design disciplines involved in the selected works and their increasingly blurred and overlapping boundaries. Each cover, created exclusively for Artribune, symbolise the threshold to cross in order to immerse oneself in the depth and versatility of the project. The fragile surface to be broken in order to venture into the hyper-connected imagination of the designers.
SURFACE #3: The cover
One is not enough
The Thesis manifesto in Video Design: One is not enough by the students at IED Roma investigates the theme of changing perspectives and respecting diversity and becomes the third cover of the Fragile Surface project
SURFACE #3: The project
One is not enough
The students at IED Roma participated in a multidisciplinary thesis for Contemporary Cluster - Palazzo Brancaccio entitled: Collective Intelligence.
This creative breeding ground supports a vision of art free of schemes, which feeds on continuous influences, making “commixture” the key word. This gallery concept is made more alive and inclusive than the traditional gallery and, by breaking down barriers between historical periods, disciplines and styles, this space embodies what has always kept art in continuous development. The students wanted to bring back this free vision in an all-embracing way, thus developing the Thesis project in the form of a series of short films: “One Is Not Enough” on the theme of changing perspectives and respecting diversity. They also made a manifesto video, from which the cover image originates, to further explore the themes of the thesis videos.
SURFACE #3: The project
On the basis of the brief, the students interpreted the need to convey the imaginative universe of the Contemporary Cluster and the main values on which it is based through a particular format, in the style of a fashion film.
The world harbours infinite perspectives whose richness lies in its diversity. A vision free from patterns and conventions allows the creation of new realities that stimulate the individual and their surroundings. The idea of limiting everything to a single concept, function, definition, on the contrary, leads to a sterile static situation. That is why “one is not enough”, in all its meanings.
