Noortje van Eekelen
As driven and passionate designer and researcher, Noortje van Eekelen is active in various capacities within the international artistic field. She is responsible for the preparation to the realisation of a multitude of on both commissioned and self-initiated projects.
Noortje van Eekelen aims to develop design projects with a social character, in order to inform society and raise critical awareness about contemporary issues. She strongly guards the quality of the design process. In the realisation of her work a method is used which seeks to implement research in the design and the associated expressions. In addition, the projects are approached from a critical theory based method. This kind of design uses design fiction and speculative design proposals to challenge assumptions, and conceptions about current developments.
