FMP professional input

I sent mails to several people and institutes to see what their reaction is on my work.

I am looking for collaboration and feedback. See if my story is picked up and understandable.

Musea:

• Foam, Photomuseum Amsterdam (Lab, magazine and exhibitions)

• Museon; culture and science museum

• Photomuseum The Hague

• Dutch Photomuseum Rotterdam

Scientist:

• KNMI, Dutch Weather station who have scientist on board

• Elzevier; scientific magazine

Art director

• Marlyn

Marlyn let me know that she thought the project was intersteng. One of the scientist reacted. Will have a meeting with her later.

Foam told me that they are not interested at this moment working with young people who do a MBO. That is the school where I teach.

Marlyn;

Marlyn started her own multimedia compangny with a friend direct after her BA. A couple of years later they splitter and she started a new company which she had for years but she is now making films. I know her about 15 years now and I asked her to take a look at the work because she helps organising monthly inspiration evenings for the Dutch association for designers. During the evenings about 4 designers present their project. Every evening has a team.

Her reaction:

A nice project. With crazy experiments and great results. Foam is currently hosting an exhibition on photography / images / art on climate and nature. Is very interesting to you I think. In your explanation and research it is very much and therefore overwhelming, in many different areas, so I no longer know whether it is about your image experiment (photo and 3d etc) or whether climate change is the message. And how they relate?

Marlyn asked me: "Do you know Irene Statucci? irenestracuzzi.it *" She has done a special project under the North Pole. The Legal status of ice portrays the controversial territorial battle of five Arctic countries for the Arctic in a huge 3D model. Through projection, she examines the overlapping border claims, the disappearing Arctic ice and its political implications. Good luck and greetings Marlyn

Museon Thank you for sending your email with the short description of the project and the presentation video. I am curator of content and mainly work on the collection and not on such projects. I have therefore forwarded your email to my colleague as he is very involved in this subject and has also developed our Climate Studio.

Foam Expo

Thank you for your interest in Foam and for the information sent. I presented your work to our curators and they looked at it carefully. It is interesting work, but unfortunately not suitable for Foam at the moment. Keep in mind that they receive dozens of porfolios and proposals every month. Given the breadth of our programming, the opportunity to pay attention to a specific aspect of photography - in the form of an exhibition - is always limited. This also applies to possible feedback from our curators. We hope you understand this situation. I hope to have informed you sufficiently.

Foam LAB

Thank you for your email and the link to the video. I looked at it with interest. Next year we will be conducting a special edition of Foam Lab with students with an MBO background. As you indicated yourself, Foam Lab does not really suit you. I can imagine that you would like to bring your work to the attention of Foam. I am not the contact for that. I therefore forward your work to my colleagues from the exhibitions and projects departments. I wish you good luck with the development of the project.

KNMI

Thank you for your email and the link to your presentation. Interesting subject, clouds and climate change. And a separate approach, because from the arts. In the coming months I will have little to no time to start new projects or enter into new partnerships. Besides, I don't know much about clouds. I will forward your mail to a cloud colleague here. He may then contact you. It might help if you can make your question more concrete. What is the issue you want to deal with? Is it the gradual changes of clouds, their structure, their quantity? Or is it their impact on the climate system?

Answer

Thank you for sending my mail to a colleague. It is true that I should put my question a little more concretely. What I am very curious about is, or somehow, what I have done intersects with research that you do. Structure, depth, the layers is what is very interesting to me visually. Does it work differently at other heights? I would also like to hear the story of a researcher to see if that can inspire me to deepen my work again.

* Irene Statucci? irenestracuzzi.it

Originally written as a master thesis for the Information Design master department at Design Academy Eindhoven, this book constitutes the theoretical basis behind the projectThe Legal Status of Ice. The research investigates the phenomenologies of 21st-century borders by looking at their cartographic origin. Through the analysis of two historical maps and the modern Google Maps web application, it is argued that the process of bordering has always been contextual to the scientific development of cartography. The current maritime border dispute in the Arctic Ocean is discussed as a case study. Due to the importance of the region for global assets and future geopolitical scenarios, the Arctic dispute can be considered a good paradigm of the contemporary border panorama.

As a graphic and information designer, Irene Stracuzzi is fascinated by cartography. Starting from the theme of disputed borders in the Arctic Ocean, her focus grew to encompass a range of themes from legal frameworks, data collection, border politics, natural resources and climate change. Irene approaches her interests through a rigorous research process that involves historical, scientific, and technological investigations and a strong ethics about the responsible use of data sets. Her projects confront both technical GIS software and subjective image-making, revealing the unacknowledged influence of the designer in the world order, as well as the need for a more careful and informed approach to data.
