The UC Davis Design Department is the most comprehensive Design department in the University of California system, offering BA and MFA in Design. The Department offers a creative, challenging, and flexible approach to the study of design with an emphasis on socially responsible, human-centered, and sustainable practices. The department is investing in curricular expansion and preparing to provide new tools and methodologies to educate critical makers with life-long learning skills in order to contribute meaningfully to an interconnected local and global society. With an outlook to deeply and broadly integrate emerging theory and practices in design, the department seeks opportunities to dialogue, exchange and network with similar programs at the conference. In particular, we are seeking directions to expand the following areas: kinematics, code-based design, network and data-based design, industrial design, interactive media, physical computing, systems design and wearable technology.

    Visits to the museum represent a powerful strategy to be developed. MuRe takes this one step forward, integrating countries, people, museums and objects. MuRe takes place in the field of cultural convergence and advanced internet networks. MuRe's aim is to generate a real-time, advanced Internet circuit with different institutions. It would feature stories of heritage, dialogues and interactions with the public. Participants create an exhibition that only exists on the Internet. Participating institutions and audiences do not geographically coexist, but share the same virtual time and space. The object is conceived in a broad sense, art piece, heritage object, material and immaterial, aiming to stimulate the co-creation process in ICT.
