[:sk]Dizajnér „napriek“[:en]"Despite all" designer[:]
[:sk]Mladý Nór Bjørn Jørund Blikstad je dizajnér, ale tvrdí, že nechce vyrábať veci. Projekt Imeüble, ktorý ho vystrelil zo školskej lavice rovno na medzinárodnú scénu, je na hranici medzi dizajnom a umením. Úložný systém, o ktorom jeho autor tvrdí, že je to „2,5 D“, je skutočne magický, „oko klamúci“ objekt.

Ako ste sa dostali k profesii dizajnéra? Čo vás na tom lákalo?
BJB: Odjakživa som vyrábal rôzne veci a doma som mal odmalička zázemie poskytujúce tvorivú slobodu. Myslím, že práve to zo mňa spravilo študenta zle vybaveného pre univerzitu; bol som vylúčený po prvom semestri a napokon som sa zapísal na umeleckú školu. Môj záujem o umenie a dizajn nepochádza len z tvorivéhodetstva, ale takisto z nedostatku pestovania tvorivosti v rámci štandardného vzdelávania. Musel som robiť niečo iné než študovať na univerzite, zrejme aj ako protest proti strate času, ktorú predstavovala stredná škola. Možno som dizajnérom „napriek“.
Ako by ste charakterizovali svoju tvorbu? Ste mladý, ale predsa len – máte už nejakú „dizajnérsku filozofiu“?
Je nemožné mať dizajnérsku filozofiu v tomto konzumnom svete. Iba ak – prestať vyrábať veci. Snažím sa robiť veci, ktoré sú „mimo systému“. Kolega ma prirovnal k postave Harryho Tuttla vo filme Brazil, tým sa utešujem.
Váš projekt Imeüble mal fenomenálny úspech, hoci to bola „len“ školská práca. Ako sa zmenil po tomtoúspechu váš život? Aké možnosti vám to prinieslo?
Učím na akadémii (KHIO / Národná akadémia umení v Osle).
Aké sú vaše pracovné plány do budúcnosti?
Zatiaľ čo sa stále spamätávam z prvotného šoku po projekte Imeüble, inšpirácia sa pomaly zbiera a začínajú sa diať iné veci.

[:en]Young Norwegian Bjørn Jørund Blikstad is a designer, but he says he does not want to make things. His project Imeüble, which threw him out of the school-desk directly into the international scene, is on the borderline between design and art. A shelving system, about which his maker says it is a „two and a half dimensional“, is indeed a magical, illusive object.

How did you get to the profession of a designer? What was appealing about it?
BJB: I have always been making things, and was given productive and creative liberty at home from early on. I guess this made me an ill equipped student at the university. I dropped out after one semester, and finallyapplied for art education study. My interest in art and design doesn‘t come from my creative childhood alonebut equally from the lack of creative harbouring in standard education. I had to do something else than study at the university, probably as a protest to wasting time high school was for me. Maybe I‘m a „despite all“ designer.
How would you characterize your work? You are young, but nonetheless, do you have any „designerphilosophy“ of your own?
It‘s impossible to have a designer philosophy in this consumerist world. Stop making things, perhaps? I try to make things that are „of the grid“. A colleague of mine compared me to Harry Tuttle in the movie Brazil, I take comfort in that.
Your project Imeüble was a great success, although it was „just“ a school work. How has your life changed after this success? What opportunities has it brought you?
I am a lecturer at the academy (KHIO/ Oslo National Academy of the Arts).
What are your future working plans?
While slowly recovering from the initial shock of the Imeüble project, inspiration is building up and differentthings are happening.
