About TID Lab

At TID*, we conduct transdisciplinary research and artistic research, teaching and outreach on the overlapping topics of design, futurism, illustration, communication, mediation, innovation, visual communication and games. The lab is a part of School of Art, Design and Media at Kristiania, located at Campus Fjerdingen.

​

Our studies are based on the multiplicity of reality; the understanding that there are multiple pasts, presents and alternative futures. Our aim is to start dialogues about how this multiplicity impacts people and planet, in projects, organizations and sectors in and over time. 

​

We partner with organizations who want to explore the role of service/ systemic design, future scenarios and/or visual communication in their organization - together with us and our students - contact us for more information.
