Focus on materiality

New materials, workshop-oriented, 2D & 3D, role of materiality, questions of sustainability, physical structures, lightweight construction, generative design, haptics, tangible user interfaces, Arduino, etc. - Basically: tension between materiality and mediality

Contact persons: Prof Joanna Dauner, Prof Laabs and Prof Spickenheuer

Focus on science communication

Information design, exhibition design, demonstrators, 2D and 3D communication design in the broadest sense, for conveying content, learning materials, experience design for museums, moving images for conveying complex contexts

Contact persons: Prof Simon

Focus on net culture and platform economy

Exploration of social dynamics, technical mechanisms, aesthetic and artistic practices, political questions of design of and on digital platforms. Aesthetics and economics of platform-based image production in design, especially in the context of AI-based image generators.

Contact persons: Prof. Dr Schmidt & Prof. Schmieg
