Introducing the doodles and vector
illustrations of Mr. Daniel Jansson
from BA3 (more all around...)
HAPPY PERSIAN NEW YEAR!Haft-sin or the seven ‘S’s is a traditional
table setting includes seven specific items, all
starting with the (s) in the Persian alphabet.
The items symbolically correspond to seven
creations and holy immortals protecting them.
It may also include: mirror, gold fish, ancient
book, candles, flowers, sweets and painted eggs
which are all symbolic.
Haji Firuz is the traditional herald of the
Nowruz season symbolizes the rebirth; paints
his face in black (symbol of good luck) and
wears a red costume, then sings and dances
through the streets.
The thirteenth day of the new year festival
people go for picnic with family. At the end
of this day,sabzeh grown for the Haft-Sin
(symbolically collected bad luck) is thrown
into running water ,before discarding, they tie
the leaves while saying their wishes for the new
year. Another tradition the process of lying to
someone and making them believe it (similar
to April Fools Day).
Happy Nowrūz,
//Negar, IDI
Nowrūz (Persian: “New Day”, originally “New
Light”) is the name of the New Year in Iranian
calendars. It marks the first day of spring and
the beginning of the year. It is celebrated on
the day of the astronomical vernal equinox,
which usually occurs on March 21 or the
previous/following day depending on where
it is observed. Spring cleaning, or Khouneh
Tekouni (literally means ‘shaking the house’)
is commonly performed before Nowruz. On
the New Year’s Day, families dress in their new
clothes and start the twelve-day celebrations by
visiting the elders of their family, then the rest
of their family and finally their friends; they
wish 100 years of happiness for each other.
Some celebrants believe that whatever a person
does on Nowruz will affect the outcome of
the rest of the year. The night before the
last Wednesday of the year is the festival of
light winning over darkness; the symbolism
behind the rituals are all rooted back to
Zoroastrianism. People jump over bonfires in
streets, while singing the traditional song: “My
yellowness (pain, sickness) is yours (the fire),
your redness (strength and health) is mine”.
Many children wrap themselves in shrouds
and run through the streets banging on pots
with spoons and knocking on doors to ask for
treats.(Trick-or-treating)
For momentum of thought,Helping the creativite mindon the path of discovery.
In this room you can set
the stage for your specific
needs to push the creative
gaspedal flat out.
Constant change of scene is one of the ground pelarsfor creative thinking.Doing “something else”“being somewhere else”.
Are you seated comfortably?Try changing it up a bit. Lay on the floor or in a bean bag, sadle the fatboy,hang, slouch, roll up, do it lotus style, stay in motion,frog style, on the side, upside down, folded over, twist and turn.
1. Take off your shoes when you’re in the “rugg room” Let’s help out to keep the room clean and nice for everyone to enjoy it. Do you walk with shoes on at home? Take the oportunity to change your mood set by taking of your shoes and chill in a bean bag
2. Everything that belongs to the room STAYS in the room The beneftis that this room can give you, relies on that it’s fully equiped and ready to serve your creative needs. If stuff starts to dissapear it’s not much of a use to anyone and it starts to die. Don’t kill the room.
3. Take good care of it, and help out with making it better Try to contribute to the room and make it better, smarter and richer. If you have any ideas about improving it or you have somethings you would like to donate to it Do not hesitate to contact a group responsible or Ställverket.
Project any images of your choice on
the wall to put youin the mood. Make
a slide show of the world you’re
designing for.
In this room you can change the mood and look of the room by several parameters.
What color is your project?Change the color of the lightin the room or have no light.What do you see when youcan’t see a thing?
Play around with the sound in the room. What soundscape do you need to get in the mood?
The Black CREATIVE room, THIS IS IT!

The creative room project, by: The creative room goup
Design has a history of violence. It can be an act of creative destruction and a double-edged sword, surprising us with consequences intended or unintended. Yet professional discourse has been dominated by voices that only trumpet design’s commercial and aesthetic successes.
Historically, designers’ ambitions have ranged from the quotidian to the autocratic, from the spoon to the city. Under the guise of urban renewal or the cliché of disruptive innovation, designers of all kinds—from architects and typographers to interface, product, and fashion designers—have played a role in the reconfiguration of ways of life, ecosystems, and moral philosophies. Although designers aim to work toward the betterment of society, it is and has been easy for them to overstep, indulge in temptation, succumb to the dark side of a moral dilemma, or simply err.
Design and Violence is an online curatorial experiment whose purpose is to explore the idea of violence in contemporary society using design objects as prompts for wider questions and reflections.
At the bottom of each post, we will ask a provocative question about violence. We would like each post to spark an online discussion about the manifestations of violence in contemporary society, prompted by the design object and by the “expert”’s reaction. We will moderate this discussion and invite comments to get the discussion started, if necessary.
Black Room in UID is a unique room. It was designed to boost your creativity, get in the mood when you need it and explore different interactions. Check if the room is booked via Time Edit and set your creativity free! Don’t forget to take your shoes off!
Wozzop is looking for new team members. If you are interested in joining Wozzop and contribute to UID magic contact us at [email protected] till Friday.
Violence, on the other hand, is one of the most mutable constants in history. It accommodates myriad definitions, spanning a wide spectrum between the symbolic and the real, and between the individual and the public. In recent years, technology has introduced new threats and added dramatically to its many manifestations. Our exploration of the relationship between design and violence will shed light on the complex impact of design on the built environment and on everyday life, as well as on the role of violence in contemporary society.
As we define it, violence is a manifestation of the power to alter circumstances, against the will of others and to their detriment. We have assembled a wide range of design objects, projects, and concepts that have an ambiguous relationship with violence, either masking it while at the same time enabling it; animating it in order to condemn it; or instigating it in order to prevent it. Almost all were designed after 2001. We see that year as a watershed because it marks four historical shifts in the modern evolution of violence: the beginning of a permanent War on Terror; a global shift from symmetrical to asymmetric warfare; the emergence of nation-building as an alternative to military supremacy; and the rise of cyberwarfare. The few exceptions—the AK-47, for instance—are archetypal examples of the entanglement between design and violence in the 20th century.
