Digital Design Methods for the Analog World

Torsten Posselt of FELD Design
will talk about the power of computational and parametric processes and their influence on the way we design, create and iterate whilst remaining in full aesthetic control over their manifestation in the real world.

About FELD Design

FELD is a design company passionate about uniting the physical and the digital to find new ways of communicating stories and creating experiences.

We believe in a collaborative design process that combines conceptual with practical skills. Our shared goal to unite the creative possibilities of the digital age with traditional design disciplines is firmly anchored in a distinct and refined FELD aesthetic.

FELD was founded in 2011 by Torsten Posselt and Frederic Gmeiner. The two designers met on a field trip to an astrophysics observatory near Berlin, where they were investigating the visual phenomena of interstellar magnetic fields for a design competition. In the end, they didn’t win, but they did discover a shared passion for combining design with the narrative potential of digital media technologies.

SprechenÜber | Miriam Schmidtke | Prof. Mensa, Mi. 23.01.19, 17:00

How to choreograph déja-vus

Miriam Schmidtke is a media artist and director specialized in working with set-ups of synchronized movements, synchronized video-channels and highly choreographed performance pieces. Due to the particular requirements the technical implementation as well as the directing are especially focused on a choreographed repetition in time and space.
She will discuss how this mode of working with „hyperchoreographed“ content and loops enables me to approach questions of cultural, psychological and philosophical considerations on future scenarios and a technology driven world.
Furthermore, She will show how she goes from testing the realm of the digital world with analogue means and metaphors to working with actual new technologies during the production process. Whilst merging scientific facts with fiction in her artworks, She is dealing preferably with topics such as commodification of the body, (post)fordism, behavioral patterns or the rearrangement of space.

Miriam Schmidke

I’m an artist and director working at the intersection of spatial installation, video, performance and choreography.
I initially come from an Exhibition Design and Spatial Art background and pursued a B.A./M.A. in Visuelle Kommunikation, Klasse „Raumszenarien und Ausstellungsgestaltung“ at Universität der Künste Berlin. Recently, I studied Bühnenbild and Bildhauerei at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin.
Until the beginning of 2018 I was the study coordinator and lecturer at Technical University’s postgraduate M.A. program „Bühnenbild_Szenischer Raum“. Currently, I live and work as a freelance artist, director and producer in Berlin and Vienna.

Miriam SChmidtke

See you all at Wednesday!

SprechenÜber | Becoming Part of the Picture | Voraula, Mi. 09.01.19, 17:00

2019's first SprechenÜber's guest is Frédéric Eyl from Studio TheGreenEyl.

Becoming Part of the Picture

The works of Studio TheGreenEyl invite the audience to become part of the picture. The playful and often metaphorical situations they create, aim to provide aesthetic hooks – points of entry into knowledge. By letting the viewer complete the work, they yield control to them, hoping to inspire agency, reflection and a deeper understanding.

Frédéric Eyl
studied Visual Communication at the University of the Arts Berlin. Founded Studio TheGreenEyl together with Gunnar Green, Richard The, Willy Sengewald, and Dominik Schumacher in 2009. Ever since: Trying to learn something new every day and to reinvent the wheel every now and then.

Fluidity by Sasa Kovacevic / SADAK

Copyright

The most important message SADAK wants to communicate is:

pride in individuality

The clothing is innovative and unique, while still incorporating distinctive elements from a variety of preceding periods and ethnic cultures.The various inspirations for the collections are essentially what makes them so superior in character. It’s not only the collection as a whole that comes with a motive, it’s the individual works themselves.

Always at the core of his universe (and as essential as the clothes themselves) are attitudes, moods and statements about individuality and independence. Equally important in SADAK’ s approach is the constant quest for innovation. The key elements stay the same: modern proportions, a constant research for fabrics and textures and above all the interplay of pure construction and new shapes with the body and psyche of the contemporary fashion and art.

DESIGNERS BIO:

He graduated in Fashion Design from Kunsthochschule Weißensee Berlin,Germany; he also studied Stage and Costume Design at the Academy of Art, Belgrade.
