In July 2021, Scripted Space spoke with Kyuha Shim (Q) over Zoom. Q is a designer, researcher and educator working from Pennsylvania. We discussed his practice as a computational designer, the potential benefits (and pitfalls) of automation, and his ongoing role as an educator at Carnegie Mellon University.

In October 2020, from the UK to Germany, we met up with Christoph and Konrad through a JITSI (an open-source video calling software) link they hosted for our conversation. Christoph Knoth (1985, DE) and Konrad Renner (1982, DE) have shared what they call a ‘virtual studio’ — Knoth & Renner — since 2011. Working remotely, Knoth in Berlin and Renner in Leipzig, they collaborate with clients in the cultural field (Simon Denny, Spector Books, Sternberg Press, !Mediengruppe Bitnik, etc.), producing expressive, handcrafted websites.
In this conversation we discussed their practice as educators running Klasse Digitale Grafik at HFBK, designing in the browser, the new normal of participation online and the challenges of exhibiting virtually.

We skyped from London to Seoul with designer and developer Yehwan Song in February 2020. Yehwan is known for her idiosyncratic approach to web design with the majority of her projects taking the form of experiments that in some way subvert common user-experience behaviours. In this informal conversation with Yehwan, we discuss the rationales behind her work, her thoughts on web design patterns, design and code, work methodology and some of her future plans.

We skyped with Tereza and Vit Ruller of The Rodina, in December 2019. During this conversation we learnt about the Rodina’s on-going projects and future ambitions, while digging into the intentions behind earlier works, such as Playbour: The New Workaholism and Shadows in Paradise. More broadly Tereza and Vit shared their views on, and relation to, design, forms of research, participation, performativity and technology. Link to the full interview in our bio!
The Rodina’s practice is often thematically focused and operates across various media, resulting in performances, installations, websites, games, videos & graphic ephemera.
