Presentation title:
Innovation You Can Feel: The Impact of Multisensory Printing Design
Biography
Prof. Raša Urbas, PhD is a full professor at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, where she heads the Chair of Information and Graphic Arts Technology. Her research focuses on graphic prepress, multisensory printing, printing for the blind and visually impaired and innovative applications of microencapsulated materials on various substrates. She is committed to advancing cutting-edge graphic technologies by combining aesthetic and functional aspects of print to enhance the user experience. As a member of international research groups and editorial committees, she emphasizes innovation that combines technology and social responsibility.
Dominique Cunin, PhD
Valence’s Art and Design School in the Graphic Design department, France
Presentation title:
Graphic design and digital technologies between screen and paper: what toolchains for which practices?
Dominique Cunin, PhD in Aesthetics, Sciences, and Technologies of the Arts (Université Paris 8), is an artist and researcher at EnsadLab – Laboratoire de l’École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris (Reflective Interaction group). He is also a professor at Valence’s Art and Design School in the Graphic Design department, where he is deeply involved in research on art and design based on digital interactivity technologies. His PhD focused on Mobilizing, a programming language for mobile screens developed for use by artists and designers, of which he was a co-developer and the main contributor since 2008. This project evolved into Mobilizing.js in 2014, a software framework built on web technologies, which continues today in collaboration with IRCAM members and Montréal SAT. His art project themes explore the representation and understanding of space through digital image technologies. In 2023, he launched the EPE (Ecran-Papier-Editer) project on behalf of Esad•Valence, a European small-scale cooperation project about web-to-print technologies and their role in the redefinition of graphic design professions.
