Creative Mornings: Depth
September 30th, 2022, 8:30 AM CET @HetArchief

// This event is hosted & presented in English //

Depth is a measure of distance. Get a feel for it by traveling along a rock fissure that tunnels into the earth, stepping across the expanse between our galaxy and the next, or diving into the mysteries hidden within ourselves.

Depth is a space that denies easy ways of seeing or comprehending — when we shine a light into the deep blue of the ocean, we cannot see much further than the surface. In our age of instant answers, we bristle at this resistance. It’s often easier to reduce people, places, and ideas into flattened renderings, rather than grapple with the nuanced and contradictory truths found in their depths.

In what depths could you submerge yourself if you let curiosity guide you? Ask open-ended questions and listen for responses to arise. With patience, watch those questions transform and transmute as they travel further. Blink your eyes open in the abyss, lose your frame of reference, and discover something altogether new.

Introducing September’s speaker Thomas & Jurgen 🥳🥳
Thomas & Jurgen is an experimental design studio based in Rotterdam. Together we explore, combine and create visual content in both commissioned and experimental design projects. Based on the core values of jazz, we developed a creative method that plays a key role in our practice. From a theme, word or association, we draw up rules, which we apply together with various improvisation techniques during so-called Visual Jamsessions. In the beginning, these sessions mainly took place at the start of a design process, but lately this has also shifted towards the end where the outcome of a session is the end result. During Creative Mornings we will tell (and show!) you more about this ongoing development of our method.

Our Columbus chapter chose this month’s exploration of Depth and Bryan Christopher Moss created the illustration.
