I was the Creative Director of the project and together with a set of brilliant creatives we gave our own interpretation of what "The Courage To Create" means to us. Here you can see a sample of the work we produced over the months ranging from graphics & signage to bags and pins. What is creativity if not a struggle for freedom; a fight against what impedes progress, a source of constant tension and the ability to turn adversities into advantages at the end of the day? That was the answer given by the creative team of TEDxThessaloniki in its effort to transform this year's topic 'The Courage to Create'' into a holistic creative concept. <img src="http://payload54.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/3382387/Screen shot 2012-05-10 at 23.27.37_640.png" width="640" height="933" width_o="871" height_o="1270" src_o="http://payload54.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/3382387/Screen shot 2012-05-10 at 23.27.37_o.png" data-mid="17386022" border="0" align="left"/> Whether it is the phrase ''The Courage to Create'' in this year's graphics οr the hero in the promo video, the subject is constantly striving to exit its form and break from its boundaries. In order to effectively communicate the notions of struggle, effort and courage, the team created a tangible typeface. The fonts that were produced were chosen after various experiments with sizes and forms and were tested with several different materials, so that the movement had the most powerful visual effect wherever used.

http://www.christinabiliouri.com/following/christinabiliouri.com/Design-Thinking-in-SKG Tue, 13 Mar 2012 23:07:29 +0000 Christina Biliouri 2998778 During the "Made in Thessaloniki" Design Festival, I organised & led a 3 day design thinking workshop on Innovation in the Urban Environment. The 23 participants were divided into 5 teams, each trying to come up with an innovative idea around the subjects of waste management, social cohesion, public spaces, transportation and turism. The participants, who came from diverse backgrounds, learned how collaboration and open source design are key to innovation. Through following a specific method, they were guided through many stages of the process, in order to experience how design thinking can be applied in product, system and application design. G. Gatos and A. Chatzidiakos assisted the teams on matters of entrepreneurship and web development accordingly. <img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/09_what_if_gardens_2.JPG" width="530" height="792" width_o="530" height_o="792" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/09_what_if_gardens_2_o.JPG" data-mid="15282118" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/01_group_working_2.jpg" width="530" height="355" width_o="530" height_o="355" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/01_group_working_2_o.jpg" data-mid="15282096" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/02_gardens_making.jpg" width="530" height="355" width_o="530" height_o="355" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/02_gardens_making_o.jpg" data-mid="15282100" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/03_gardens_tutorial.jpg" width="530" height="355" width_o="530" height_o="355" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/03_gardens_tutorial_o.jpg" data-mid="15282103" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/04_Post_it.JPG" width="530" height="355" width_o="530" height_o="355" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/04_Post_it_o.JPG" data-mid="15282105" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/05_pres_sinoxi.JPG" width="530" height="355" width_o="530" height_o="355" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/05_pres_sinoxi_o.JPG" data-mid="15282108" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/06_bus_ideation.JPG" width="530" height="355" width_o="530" height_o="355" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/06_bus_ideation_o.JPG" data-mid="15282111" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/07_turism.JPG" width="530" height="355" width_o="530" height_o="355" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/07_turism_o.JPG" data-mid="15282112" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/08_What_if_sinoxi.JPG" width="530" height="355" width_o="530" height_o="355" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/08_What_if_sinoxi_o.JPG" data-mid="15282114" border="0" align="left"/> The outcomes<img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/aporrimata_1.jpg" width="530" height="350" width_o="530" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/aporrimata_1_o.jpg" data-mid="15282153" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/aporrimata_2.jpg" width="530" height="350" width_o="530" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/aporrimata_2_o.jpg" data-mid="15282154" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/dimosioi_xwroi.JPG" width="499" height="350" width_o="499" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/dimosioi_xwroi_o.JPG" data-mid="15282157" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/koinwniki_sinoxi_1.jpg" width="530" height="363" width_o="530" height_o="363" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/koinwniki_sinoxi_1_o.jpg" data-mid="15282162" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/sygkoinwnies.jpg" width="530" height="868" width_o="530" height_o="868" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/sygkoinwnies_o.jpg" data-mid="15282177" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/tourism.jpg" width="530" height="337" width_o="530" height_o="337" src_o="http://payload34.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2998778/tourism_o.jpg" data-mid="15282182" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.christinabiliouri.com/Country-of-No-Dreams http://www.christinabiliouri.com/following/christinabiliouri.com/Country-of-No-Dreams Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:58:25 +0000 Christina Biliouri 2639669 The interactive artwork 'Country of No Dreams’ reflects on one of Greece’s most significant problems: Youth Unemployment. The future of a country is left with no hope, as almost half the population in Greece aged 15-29 is currently unemployed. Upon proximity of the spectator, the interactive frame starts moving to indicate the change in data, whilst repressing the little stick-man’s ability to dream. **more pics coming soon** The artwork was shortlisted for the Constance Fairness Foundation prize and exhibited at the Royal College of Art in December 2011. concept & making by: Christina Biliouri & Katrin Baumgarten music credits: All Music copyright by Jim Noir http://www.christinabiliouri.com/i-school-workshop-The-Future-of-Labour http://www.christinabiliouri.com/following/christinabiliouri.com/i-school-workshop-The-Future-of-Labour Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:10:01 +0000 Christina Biliouri 2173298 In September 2011 I tutored the "Future of Labour" workshop realised by i-School/ University of Tokyo, Tohoku University and the Innovation Design Engineering (IDE) Programme at the Royal College of Art (London). The workshop had as a goal to investigate the future of labour in post disaster situations. We strongly believe that when a community is hit by a big natural disaster, it is fundamental to rebuild its infrastructure in order to restore its economy. A community’s infrastructure is entwined with employment and work, not only because an immense part of everyday social transactions are based on them but also because it is what primarily drives local economies. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2173298/i_school_workshop_640.jpg" width="640" height="905" width_o="2048" height_o="2896" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/2173298/i_school_workshop_o.jpg" data-mid="10880923" border="0" align="left"/> image & thumbnail image copyright (c) Matheus Lopes Castro In order to accomplish that, this workshop blended the local culture of Kesennuma with future global trends. Exploring the needs, behaviours and dreams of the local residents leads to perceptive understanding of the culture and traditions of Kesennuma. On the other hand, incorporating global trends related to the future of work into the infrastructure of a community that starts as a “clean slate” can lead to groundbreaking results.

Christina Biliouri 1650241 Curation, exhibition design & construction of the Innovation Design Engineering Show The aim was to create a space that is clean and easy to navigate with a natural sense of flow and a lot of dwell space. Although it is accommodating the work of 37 MA students and 10 group projects the gallery still feels open.

Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. In April 2011, the second TEDx event of Thessaloniki was carried out, bringing to Greece and the world (as all talks are recorded and broadcasted online), leading local and international thinkers and practitioners. For this event, which has the theme "Why not?", I joined the TEDx team designing the gift bags, pens and badges. As the essence of TED is spreading ideas, the thinking behind the design of the bag is inspired by the TED values. The concept stems from the design of a unique bag, primarily used in Greek grocery stores, and which is now becoming obsolete. Therefore, an iconic object is now taken out of context and introduced in a formal event like TEDx; instead of fresh apples you receive fresh ideas in a bag. All the graphics and slogans play on this particular theme but instead of being printed they are impressed on the bags by a series of rubber stamps. Encapsulating the unity in collaboration among the TEDx team, each bag is stamped individually by us and is therefore unique. Moreover, the concept is demonstrating that one can be innovative with a very low budget and can come up with inspiring outcomes, a fact quite important in these times of economic recession. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0254_640.jpg" width="640" height="428" width_o="1291" height_o="864" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0254_o.jpg" data-mid="5696236" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0266_640.jpg" width="640" height="428" width_o="1291" height_o="864" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0266_o.jpg" data-mid="5696241" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0275_640.jpg" width="640" height="428" width_o="1291" height_o="864" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0275_o.jpg" data-mid="5696246" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0257_640.jpg" width="640" height="428" width_o="1291" height_o="864" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0257_o.jpg" data-mid="5696239" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0268_640.jpg" width="640" height="428" width_o="1291" height_o="864" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0268_o.jpg" data-mid="5696243" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0278_640.jpg" width="640" height="428" width_o="1291" height_o="864" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0278_o.jpg" data-mid="5696250" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0310_640.JPG" width="640" height="428" width_o="2048" height_o="1370" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0310_o.JPG" data-mid="6073197" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0363_640.JPG" width="640" height="428" width_o="2048" height_o="1370" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0363_o.JPG" data-mid="6073220" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0365_640.JPG" width="640" height="428" width_o="2048" height_o="1370" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1181786/DSC_0365_o.JPG" data-mid="6073237" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.christinabiliouri.com/the-sound-of-the-drinking-line http://www.christinabiliouri.com/following/christinabiliouri.com/the-sound-of-the-drinking-line Tue, 08 Feb 2011 22:49:20 +0000 Christina Biliouri 1034983 Can we design objects whose aesthetics are revealed through sound? During my initial investigation in acoustics, I got really interested in Helmholtz resonance. The Helmholtz equation acted as a springboard for what I called "the bubble experiment". I connected a tumbler with tubes and volumetric vessels trying to form sound boxes. By placing volumetric tubes of different volumes and different neck diameters the amount of bubbles changed creating an interesting effect. Τhe system was connected in different heights thus responding to different water levels. By tilting when drinking the user can get aural feedback of the water level through a playful interaction. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/DSC_0215_640.JPG" width="640" height="428" width_o="2048" height_o="1370" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/DSC_0215_o.JPG" data-mid="4970238" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/DSC_0183_640.jpg" width="640" height="472" width_o="2048" height_o="1511" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/DSC_0183_o.jpg" data-mid="4970214" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/DSC_0170_640.JPG" width="640" height="421" width_o="2048" height_o="1347" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/DSC_0170_o.JPG" data-mid="4970193" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/drinking_line copy_640.jpg" width="640" height="496" width_o="2048" height_o="1587" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/drinking_line copy_o.jpg" data-mid="4970359" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/DSC_0204_640.JPG" width="640" height="999" width_o="2048" height_o="3199" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/DSC_0204_o.JPG" data-mid="4970232" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/DSC_0161_640.JPG" width="640" height="969" width_o="2048" height_o="3101" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/79040/1034983/DSC_0161_o.JPG" data-mid="4970169" border="0" align="left"/>
