'Each day, we are surrounded by seemingly insignificant objects, taking them from one place to the other, or leaving them on a table for weeks, without paying any attention to them. We ignore or forget them, using things only when we need to, making sure they don’t interfere or inhabit our space. But what if they were not so stable and subservient? What if they could swivel, bounce or even fly. And what if they did so all at the same time? We want to imagine a place where objects could live and move, harmoniously, and of their own accord. Without interfering with each other these objects would bounce, roll, turn and cross each other’s paths.
This experiment is about re-discovering our daily surroundings. Each object is assigned to a letter on the keyboard, and can be activated or deactivated at any time'.
| Julien Vallée is a Montreal based graphic / motion-designer. Trying to explore the different fields of design, he's been questioning the relative roles of the computer and handmade processes in design. He tries to get in touch with every aspect of the environment, using manual processes strongly supported by the technological tools of today to bridge as many of these disciplines as he can.

He tries to make work appropriate to the context, and is interested in collaborative processes. +++++ MTV-One from Julien Vallée on Vimeo. |
“Humans cause global warming”is a theory believed by many people but quite hard to proof by one individual. Going further it’s nearly impossible for the individual to know such things if it’s on its own. The answers to these questions range from
“I noticed or experienced”to
“I heard on TV or radio”. Further attributes of an answer are the place where someone learned it, the person’s gender or age and how much the author refutes or supports the stated fact.
A Poster Wall for the 21st Century
On the occasion of the opening of the new Graphic Design Museum in Breda (NL) the posterwall for the 21st century was launched, both online and as an installation in the museum itself. In the museum 600 unique posters are automatically generated daily using content gathered from various internet sources. Online, one new poster is generated every five minutes. Constantly new and updated, the posters contain content covering a range of topics such as cultural events, news, weather, etc. In the museum it’s placed at the end of the overview exhibition ‘100 Years of Graphic Design in the Netherlands’. It attempts to provide insight into the direction graphic design might go in the future while posing the question: ‘Do we still need graphic designers?’
De ‘Affichemuur voor de 21ste eeuw’ is onderdeel van de semi-permanente tentoonstelling ‘100 years of Graphic Design in the Netherlands’ in het nieuwe Graphic Design Museum te Breda. Het is een dynamische wand die -vanuit talloze internetbronnen- affiches genereert van o.a. culturele evenementen, nieuwsberichten, maanstanden en het weer. Elke vijf minuten wordt er een nieuwe, unieke poster gemaakt die automatisch wordt toegevoegd aan de 'muur'. Het project probeert een blik te geven op de richting waarin het vak grafisch ontwerpen zich in de toekomst kan bewegen, terwijl het de vraag stelt of grafisch ontwerpers überhaupt nog wel nodig zijn?
