Presentation on ‘Digital Pollution’ at Fault Lines symposium, 14 December 2018.

Niels Schrader

Niels Schrader is a concept-driven information designer with a fascination for numbers and data. He is founder of the Amsterdam-based design studio Mind Design, member of the AGI – Alliance Graphique Internationale and together with Ramon Amaro and Sheena Calvert co-founder of the Queer Computing Consortium (QCC). Schrader graduated in communication design at the University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf and further completed his academic studies in the master programme Design at the Sandberg Institute Amsterdam. Schrader writes regularly for Grafikmagazin and Open! – Platform for Art, Culture & the Public Domain and worked from 2017 to 2020 as a correspondent for Novum – World of Graphic Design. Next to his design practice, he has lectured at various academies and universities in- and outside Europe. From 2013 to 2021 he was together with Roosje Klap head of the Graphic Design department at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Currently he is head of the Non Linear Narrative master programme.

Before setting up his own studio in Amsterdam in 2005, Schrader had worked as a freelance designer for Uwe Loesch and Irma Boom. His portfolio of clients includes i.a. MOTI – Museum of the Image, Museum De Paviljoens, Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar, Bureau Europa, Goethe-Institut Niederlande, Mondriaan Foundation, Royal Academy of Visual Arts (Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten), DasArts – Master of Theatre, Berlage Institute, VU University Amsterdam, Delft University of Technology, KCAP Architects & Planners, PostNL, Jap Sam Books, Maven Publishing, Onomatopee, nai010 Publishers and Slewe Gallery in Amsterdam.

In his work, Schrader plays the role of both a mediator and a designer. He considers communication to be an interactive process that requires participation through questioning. Schrader’s projects frequently challenge the audience to experience the very means of communication by providing insights into the complex methods of information exchange.

Past interns and fellows of Mind Design include: Gilles de Brock, Martijn de Heer, Amir Houieh, Daan Jesper Kars, Jungeun Lee, Edgar Savisaar, Pascal Schilp, Vera van de Seyp, Miriam Thijssen, Fernando van der Vlist and Roger van der Zwan. Thank you guys for a great time!
