The Willem de Kooning Academy

The Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (WdKA/RUAS), offers a variety of bachelor and master programs in the field of visual culture, art, design, education in arts, and leisure management. The curriculum of the Willem de Kooning Academy is founded in an interdisciplinary ethos in which research through making, theoretical reflection and participatory practices form the three pillars of the Institute. The Piet Zwart Institute is part of the WdKA, hosting four full time and two part-time international masters in art, design and art education. The programs work experimentally across different media and contexts, offering a rich combination of in-depth specialization and interdisciplinary exchange. We educate professionals who have a critically reflective, questioning and imaginative approach to their work.

The Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design: Experimental Publishing (aka XPUB) focuses on the acts of making things public and creating publics in the age of post-digital networks. XPUB is a two-year, full-time program for practitioners either looking to extend their toolbox and ways of working, looking for new forms of collaboration, and/or looking for a space to step back and contextualize their practice in a larger historical theoretical understanding. Prototyping in XPUB is a core course component that encourages students during their two years to explore and develop new technical skills and ways of (collective) working, to develop ideas through making culminating in a research project and thesis in the second year. Prototyping explores:

All forms of making: testing ideas through putting into practice, creating situations where prototypes can be tested/experienced by others.

Media-archeaology: embracing the historicity and social entanglement of technology – opposing the “purely technical” that isolates technology from other social systems.

the Real World of Technology: exploring and valuing the slower moving underlying infrastructures of networks, operations systems, programming paradigms, algorithms, as the core “material” of computational media.

Free software and free culture: practices that embody generous and inherently collective models of making and sharing sources.
