Platform 8 is run by a designer and a visual artist. The platform goals and aims are to create or claim the ground between the boundaries of Art and Design.

Platform 8 is about the individual, and seeks to see design as an experimental activity, which can be a way of expression, conveying individual contents, ideas and messages. It is about the individual student and his/her ability to develop a specific personal approach, area of interest, and a way of thinking through individual projects- very much the way artists work. Consequently there are no limits.

Design can cross the boundaries to neighbouring disciplines such as engineering, sciences, commerce, industry, art, craft, architecture, media etc…
