Oct. 2018: Interaktives Skizzieren, Prototyping und Interaktion im Entwurfsprozess
Im Zuge meiner Beschäftigung mit Interfaces erschien im Oktober 2018 mein Text »Interaktives Skizzieren, Prototyping und Interaktion im Entwurfsprozess« in dem von Jochen Denzinger herausgegebenen Buch »Das Design digitaler Produkte. Entwicklungen, Anwendungen, Perspektiven« (Birkhäuser-Verlag). Hier argumentiere ich, dass zeitgenössisches Entwerfen neue Formen der Interaktion hervorbringt, in der Analoges und Digitales sich zu einer neuen, hybriden…

Designart: DGAE-Kongressakte – PDF
Der Kulturwissenschaftler Andreas Reckwitz diagnostiziert in seinem aktuellsten Buch – »Die Gesellschaft der Singularitäten« – einen Paradigmenwechsel in der gegenwärtigen Kulturproduktion. Die Gesellschaft der Gegenwart ziele nicht mehr, wie noch in der klassischen Moderne, auf das Allgemeine, sondern auf das Besondere. Statt eines massenproduzierten Sofas würden wir lieber ein Vintage-Fundstück in unserem Wohnzimmer platzieren, lieber…

Nov. 1st–Nov. 29th, 2017: Postdigital Materiality. Lecture Series at Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel
The lecture Series Postdigital Materiality is discussing design that is merging digital and analogue from different perspectives. Since the development of early CAD applications such as sketchpad in the 1960s, digital and analogue design seemed to be strictly separated. Cognitive processes of planning and drawing were located in the studio and limited to the computer…

LEARNING FROM DILETTANTISM / FORM NR. 266 / DISCOURSE
What is the true task of designers? Since the dawn of postmodernity, the concept of design, and thus the designer’s practice, seems to have become less clearly defined. Auteur designers flirted with art and with bricolage, challenging the idea of “good design”. Design theorists then complained of a dilution of the notion of design. With…

TOOLBOX FOR BIGREP
During my time at 3D-printing company BigRep, I observed the skill in making the people of BigRep had. Traditional techniques of production were merged with new technology. This shows: even though 3D-Printing is associated with digital and mostly non-manual design work, it requires a lot of craftsmanship and bricolage. Thus, tools from traditional processes and…

WOVEN TABLE FOR BIGREP
In the past 5 years, the cost of 3D printing techniques have been significantly reduced. 3D-printing becomes more and more common. This also influences the way we design. In 2015, I have been researching this topic at 3D-printing startup BigRep in Berlin. The table results from my work with the large-format FDM-printer that BigRep is…

DIGITAL/ANALOG – WIE VERÄNDERN DIGITALE PRODUKTIONSMETHODEN DAS DESIGN? LEHRAUFTRAG HFK BREMEN
Das Seminar handelt von aktuellen Entwürfen und Prozessen aus dem Produktdesign , die additive Fertigungsmethoden und im weitesten Sinne postindustrielle Produktionstechniken nutzen. Ziel der Lehrveranstaltung ist, die Frage zu klären, wie die digitalen Produktionsprozesse das Produktdesign verändern und schon längst verändert haben. So wird beispielsweise herauszuarbeiten sein, was den spezifisch »digitalen« Stil von 3D-Druck-Artefakten ausmacht.…

IMPROVISATION UND DIGITALE PRODUKTION / WORKSHOP FÜR SPONTANE MATERIALISIERUNG AN DER KUNSTHOCHSCHULE KASSEL
Der Begriff der Improvisation changiert von jeher zwischen vollkommener Freiheit (in den Künsten) und provisorischer Notlösungsaktivität (im Alltag). Im Design hat Improvisation jedoch eine eigene Bedeutung. Hier erweist sie sich als grundlegende Fertigkeit des Entwerfens. Sie dient dazu, Modelle zu bauen, Prototypen zu realisieren und dabei zugleich den Entwurfsprozess voranzutreiben. Im Verlauf der Konkretisierung eines…
