“Stop motion don’t stop” del 18 d’abril al 26 de maig de 2013
Valencia es pionera en las producciones de animación con plastilina STOP MOTION o CLAYMATION. A finales de los 80 surgen los profesionales y poco después las productoras que durante años copan la mayoría de las producciones, el reconocimiento y posteriormente los premios.
El MuVIM quiere ofrecer al público valenciano la posibilidad de conocer a tres de los estudios más importantes de este género: Javier Tostado (Clay Kids Animation), Pablo Llorens (Potens Plastianimation) y Sam (Conflictivos Productions), ganadores de premios Goya e internacionales. Podemos ver tantos sus creaciones como el rodaje de una película en directo.

“Il diluvio universale, secondo l’Antico Testamento, iniziò il 17° giorno del secondo mese (ma si concluse lo stesso giorno del settimo mese, quando Noé raggiunse l’Ararat.). Secondo Plutarco i pitagorici avevano orrore del numero 17, perché intermedio tra 16 e 18, gli unici due numeri che rappresentano contemporaneamente la superficie e il perimetro di uno stesso quadrilatero, essendo 16 = 4 × 4 e 18 = 3 × 6.”

Design Thinking
- Personal thought(ENG) All definitions about design are constantly in change, as the designer's role facing everyday social, economical and anthropological mutations as well. Design has widely embraced every single part of the thoughtful process, as well as the strategical, production, promotion, marketing side of all good designs. No matter if it is a product, a service, nor a service system.
Contemporary designers should be specialized know-it-alls, not know-it-all specialists.
At least until next (con)temporary definition.
(ITA) La definizione di design é in continua mutazione, così come il ruolo dei designer di fronte ai cambiamenti sociali, economici e antropologici. Il design ha allargato il proprio campo di competenza a tal punto da potersi applicare ad ogni singola parte del processo di ideazione, pianificazione, realizzazione, promozione e diffusione del buon progetto; sia esso prodotto, servizio o sistema di servizi.
Il designer contemporaneo dovrebbe essere un tuttologo specializzato, non uno specialista in tuttologia.
Almeno fino alla prossima definizione (con)temporanea.
(ESP) La definición de diseño está en constante cambio, así como el papel de los diseñadores para responder a los cambios sociales, económicos y antropológicos. El diseño se ha ampliado su ámbito de competencia en la medida aplicable a cualquier parte de los procesos de ideación, planificación, ejecución, promoción y difusión del buen diseño, ya sea producto, servicio o sistema de servicios.
El diseñador debe ser un sabe-lo-todo especializado, no un especialista en sabiduría general.
Por lo menos hasta la siguiente definición de carácter temporal (y contemporánea).
(POR) A definição de design não é estática, assim como o papel do designer em frente as mudanças sociais, econômicas e antropológicas. O design ampliou tanto sua área de competências que pode-se usar em qualquer ponto do proceso de ideação, planificação, realização, promoção e diffusão do bom design, seja este um produto, um serviço ou uma rede de serviços.
O designer contemporâneo devería ser um sabe-tudo especializado e não um especialista do saber-géral.
Ou, pelo menos, até a próxima definição temporária (e contemporânea).
