RESUMEN
As early as the late 1970s, I began testing the notion of transnationalism—transcending borders—using early computer networks. Years before these devices became common place, I assembled networks of email and satellite connections for mixing images derived from personal memories with those inspired by popular culture to explore what was private and what was public in the emerging era of networks, as documented in the art and technology journal, Leonardo (107-112).
I mention these early experiments because there is a direct line between them and the creation of Projects in Global Design, a course conducted jointly with Master of Science and Master of Fine Arts students from the Graduate Communications / Package Design department at Pratt Institute in New York and the Graphic Design Master’s program at the Academy of Art and Design Sint Joost (Akademie voor Kunst en Vormgeving Sint Joost, Avans Hogeschool) in Breda, Holland, in the spring semesters of 2011 and 2012.
