On the Move - University of Applied Arts Vienna

"On The Move"

While the fleeting act of arrival is often regarded as an act of fulfillment, the notion of being on the move mainly contains connotations of exhaustion and restlessness. But shouldn’t the journey be its own reward?
As part of their semester project, the Industrial Design class addressed the question of how the sense of relief associated with arrival can also be integrated into the act of being on the move. To this end, students departed last March for places of their own choice before undertaking an experimental five-day journey back to Vienna: using just their muscles, floating on the water, downhill, electrically powered, or by public transport – they only renounced cars and planes.
At the Dutch Design Week, 18 of these travel experiences are now presented. Bon voyage!

Curated by professor Stefan Diez

The exhibition was produced by students and staff of the Industrial Design class with the participation of the Munich photographer and illustrator Martin Fengel.
