Wander Eikelboom

Research Group: Cultural and Creative Industries

‘How can we disrupt the notion of being human while staying true to being humane?’

Wander Eikelboom (1973) is a researcher and cultural critic who studied critical humanities at the University of Utrecht.

He works as a tutor and researcher at the Communication and Multimedia Design Breda design school. He has published on critical design practices, participatory media cultures, and embodied experience in interactive media-technologies.

His current research explores more-than-human-design practices and ecosystemic ways of learning in the post-Anthropocene era. Between 2017 and 2019 Eikelboom was part of Polymorf, an artistic collective, for which he co-designed an internationally acclaimed installation, ‘Famous Deaths’, another installation, ‘The Entangled Body’, and Sense of Smell, a publication.

Research Group: Cultural and Creative Industries

The research group Cultural and Creative Industries investigates the role of artists and designers as creative innovators and drivers of social and economic change. Affiliated researchers analyse the cultural and creative industries from a critical point of view and examine the conditions under which timely forms of aesthetic expression and social connectedness can actually take place within the precarious reality of this field. What economic models are required by artists and designers to create a meaningful practice within the aesthetic, social, and economic intentions of the cultural and creative industries? What skills sets are required for those artists and designers who don’t just want to follow movements, but actually shape novel social and economic models of the future?
