The Self Design Academy (EN)
…The ultimate problem of design concerns not how I design the world outside, but how I design myself – or, rather, how I deal with the way in which the world designs me…
Boris Groys in Self-Design and Aesthetic Responsibility
The exhibition The Self Design Academy was on show at MU Hybrid Art House from September till November 2020. 18 artists and designers - together with the visitors - investigated how we can define, understand and design ourselves. This platform is the online version of the expo, with digital adaptations of the works, extensive info about the artists and behind-the-scenes videos.
