The Messy Shape of Problems – Workshop: Approaching Complexity
Academic Design Network Austria
SUN 8.9. | 13:45 – 16:45 Design can be understood as the production of material discourse. Applying the method of mapping, we will trance the interconnectedness of objects thereby trying to untangle complexity.
Sound Stitcher
Brendan O’Connor (IE)
Sound Stitcher comes in the form of a 100-year-old sewing machine. Although it no longer functions as before, participants can still interact with its variety of controls to design noise instead of cloth.
ATMOSPHERE ©
Sean Terriblini (AU/US)
ATMOSPHERE © is a design intervention which explores the future potential of AI in new aesthetic dimensions by visualizing the anthropogenic pressures of urban environments such as air pollution. Through ritualistic interactions with a totemic object utilizing machine learning and a global network of air pollution sensors, the object is capable of forecasting air pollution levels 24 hours in advance, allowing audiences to re-interpret their faith in technology through a lens of technoanimism and divination.
Fluid Format Creation – Implications for design research and teaching
Academic Design Network Austria
SUN 8.9. | 10:00 – 13:00 The third day will focus on the implications of previous discussions for research and teaching in the field of design. How do we convey the skills and knowledge necessary to deal with the rising complexity of contemporary challenges.
Fishbowl Discussion: The Future of Design – Transitions in the field
Academic Design Network Austria
SAT 7.9. | 10:00 – 13:00 How do technological advances (e.g. machine learning) transform working modes, task areas and perspectives in the field of design? In the course of discussion we will try to identify a number of burning questions for the future of design.Together we will desicuss the major challenges contemporary societies have to face, which necessitate design as an interdisciplinary field.
Exploring Processes and Solutions: Asking relevant questions – Finding appropriate methods
Academic Design Network Austria
FRI 6.9. | 13:45 – 16:45 This workshop discusses past and recent design projects (also the ones collected in the morning session) to identify relevant questions, problem-adequate methods, fruitful processes and outstanding solutions.
Impulse Talks + Academic Speed Dating: Approaches to Design
Academic Design Network Austria
FRI 6.9. | 10:00 – 13:00 In reference to the students’ and other design projects, representatives of the participating universities will outline their approaches to the field of design in brief statements. In the course of the session participants and members of the audience can contribute design projects they find outstanding.
The Messy Shape of Problems – Past, Present and Future Perspectives of Design
Academic Design Network Austria
Designers have to face an increasingly complex field of global challenges necessitating great sensitivity for relevant questions, adequate approaches and tools to develop sustainable solutions. How can design education convey the required skills and perspectives to cope with this dramatic rise in complexity? And how do technological advances shape the future of design?
Spatial Turn – Interactive Portfolio
FH JOANNEUM Institute of Design & Communication (AT)
The installation Spatial Turn shows numerous projects created by students in the fields of communication design, exhibition design, interaction design, media design and sound design from recent graduates of the Institute of Design & Communication of the University of Applied Sciences Graz as an interactive media portfolio experience.
Device Art 2019
PhD. Program in Empowerment Informatics, University of Tsukuba
Device Art is a new form of art that brings out the essence of technology through new materials and mechatronic devices. This concept challenges the traditional paradigm of art by merging technology, art and design.
