The Glass Virus was founded to stimulate the discussion about the future status of education in the field of glass art and strives for a new interpretation of glass in art and design. To define what glass art is and what it can be in the future, it is important to identify the various positions in glass art. As a European platform, the Glass Virus will develop, share and sustain a dynamic debate about the future direction of education and research in the field of glass art, design and technology.
The Think Tank is designed to purposefully cultivate generative discourses relative to glass art practice and education. The Think Tank has no audience. All participants are actively involved in the discourse and are encouraged to develop further-reaching activities.
