Os diferentes prismas através dos quais se poderá observar a questão da (in)visibilidade no e do design justificam a pertinência do tema no UD18, procurando antever possíveis caminhos das investigações e testemunhos dos participantes. Mais do que uma interpretação literal da palavra invisível - o que não se consegue ver - procuram explorar-se as camadas de visibilidade que revestem o mundo que nos rodeia e o papel que o design e os designers desempenham no redesenho desse mundo. Num momento em que se assiste a um progresso tecnológico sem precedentes, pautado pela automatização de indústrias e serviços, pela globalização, e por complexas dinâmicas populacionais... O que se ganha e o que se perde com estas mudanças? O que é lembrado e o que é esquecido? O que se vê e o que é (in)visível?
The different prisms though which it is possible to observe the question of (in)visibility in and of design justify the relevance of this theme for UD18, seeking to foresee possible investigation routes and testimonies from the participants. More than a literal interpretation of the world invisible – that which cannot be seen – the purpose is to explore the layers of visibility that coat the world around us and the role that design and designers play in the reconfiguration of that world. At a time when we assist to an unprecedented technological progress, marked by the automation of industries and services, globalization and by complex populational and cultural dynamics…What is gained and what is lost with these changes? What is remembered and what is forgotten? What is seen what is (in)visible?
