Peer, Katharina, Lukas, Anna Maria, Katharina
BA and MA graduates from the Institute for Product and Process Design (University of the Arts Berlin) show projects for our future living, ranging from both high-tech as low-tech solutions and speculative scenarios to implementing old rituals and new materials into our daily lives.

What is there to see?

• Peer Alexander Assmann optimised and minimalised lighting in such away that the circuit board is also the shade. • Katharina Sauter looked into new tools and methods to keep ‘old knowledge’ on hedge braiding alive in our future communities. • Lukas Henneberger visualised the power and a possible future of AI with an interactive device which challenges our sense of security. • Anna Maria Argmann looked at electronic waste and the perception of objects and components and turns them into hybrids wich triggers the imagination. • Katharina Matejcek explored what to do with carwheelcaps that you find along the road and how to make them attractive without really ending up as waste.

About University of the Arts Berlin

The Institute for Product and Process Design at the University of the Arts in Berlin examines relevant questions about our present time as well as the future. How, what, why and where do we produce future products? When production, contexts, climate, digitalisation, (interactive) systems and society change, experimentation, artistic and applied design demand new impulses. In this, the designer can inspire, be strategic, give direction and even steer politically.
