Organized by Will Burtin and sponsored by the International Center for Typographic Arts (Aaron Burns, Director) in cooperation with Southern Illinois University Vision 65: World Congress on New Challenges to Human Communication “concerned itself with the broad emergent problems of communications and challenges posed by the technological and social developments in ways which will significantly stimulate the individual and the community.” The conference was held on the campus of S.I.U. at Carbondale, Illinois from October 21–23, 1965. “We can not progress – or even survive – in our professions or as a society if we do not study the difficulties based on new conditions and aspirations, and define a new design perspective of social responsibility in all communication forms and techniques. We are living in dissonant times in which many well established practices, privileges and beliefs are questioned. We are living in a time of profound shift, which we cannot afford to sit out by discussing “safe” subjects, useful for professional specialists perhaps but often masking complacency or even unwillingness to review basic questions and make basic decisions.” – Will Burtin, Program Chairman Article: Vision 65: World Congress on New Challenges to Human Communication -- source link
