NXP & ArtEZ Collaboration

Since 2019, NXP Semiconductors has commissioned students from the Design Art Technology department at ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem to devolop and design projects about the current and historic relevance of the microship industry. Each year, multiple students create  artworks and/or design proposals within this framework. Ever since the start of our foundation, LINK is collecting and storing these works from students. Here you can find a list with the works that were selected throughout the years:
