Subject: [spectre] Jan van Eyck Production: Meta Haven Web Site Launch
[u]


> From: Jan van Eyck Academie <program at janvaneyck.nl>

> Meta Haven Web Site Launch
> Dutch resource on design, research, politics and nation branding
> http://www.metahaven.net

> Meta Haven is a research project known for its identity design for the

> Principality of Sealand, located on a former war platform in the North

> Sea hosting the world's first 'data haven', or lawless information 
> vault. Meta Haven - its name inspired from 'data haven' - can now be 
> found online at http://www.metahaven.net.
>
> Meta Haven's web site is conceived as an 'arch' of three web windows, 
> surrounding an empty centre through which the user looks at his own 
> desk top. Whereas the arch, uploaded with a 'rainfall' of visual 
> projects moving over the screen, functions as a developing visual 
> narrative, the web site's informational windows are in plain HTML with

> a grey background.
>
> The web site contains an expanding array of hundreds of different 
> models, proposals, drafts and ideas (including proposals for 'Stealth'

> and 'Logo'-based approaches to identity). In addition, Meta Haven's 
> research into visual communication, politics and history is featured 
> in the form of essays, symposia, interviews and lectures.
>
> The work of Meta Haven stands for a return to politics in Dutch 
> design. Meta Haven seeks to develop discourses and visual approaches 
> related to both resistance and power.
> As the project continues, the research team will put to use its online

> presence at  http://www.metahaven.net  to further develop its 
> research. Meta Haven will also seek to actively expand its role to new

> contexts.
>
> Meta Haven's founding team consists of Tina Clausmeyer, Vinca Kruk, 
> Adriaan Mellegers, and Daniel van der Velden. For the web site, Meta 
> Haven collaborated with web designer and programmer Maurits de Bruijn.
>
> Meta Haven is based in Maastricht and Amsterdam. Its key source of 
> support is the Jan van Eyck Academie, Post-academic Institute for Fine

> Art, Design and Theory, Maastricht, The Netherlands.
