Rio Design Championship
08/25/2014 — 08/30/2014
Centro Carioca de Design/Studio X
Rio de Janeiro, RJ
The Rio Design Championship was held at Centro Carioca de Design / Studio-X. The 25 contestants were split into three groups coordinated by Chris Calvet (Brazil) + Uta Eisenreich (Germany), Nina Paim (Brazil) + Julia Born (Switzerland), and João Doria (Brazil). The participants chose their groups according to their perceived affinities, and designed projects during the first two days. These designs were then discussed in a public round table session with critic, curator, and essayist Frederico Coelho and artist Eduardo Coimbra. The designs of games (sets of rules and public demonstrations), videos, installations, projections on screens, projections in the space/environment (mapping), and publications were exhibited to the public on the last day of the event, Saturday, August 30.
