Doors of Perception was a design conference
in Europe and India which brought together
grassroots innovators to work with designers to
imagine sustainable futures – and take practical
steps to meet basic needs in new and sustainable
ways. Starting in 1993, nine conferences were
organised with an average attendance of about
one thousand people; they came from a total of 52
countries. The results of Doors were published from 1994 on its website, which won a ‘Peoples Voice Award’ at the Webbies — the so-called “Oscars of the Internet” – in 1999 (that website unfortunately no longer exists). In addition to the main Doors conferences, there were also Open Doors public events, two Doors On Tour roadshows (to the USA, and India), two CD-roms, and a book. In the words of ‘Wired’, Doors is where “top conceptual thinkers ruminate on sticky new media subjects”; for ‘Scientific American’, Doors “examines new paths to development … a place where key questions are raised”; ‘NRC’ recognised that Doors “brings together the international avant-garde in new media and computer networks.”
Until 1999, Doors was produced by The Netherlands Design Institute. In January 2000, Doors of Perception became an independent foundation (stichting) with John Thackara, formerly director of the Netherlands Design Institute, and Kristi van Riet, as directors. In 2001, a new company, Doors of Perception Projects BV, was set up.
