The participants in this artistic and design-oriented research focus are united by a shared motivation to reflect on these questions concerning aesthetics, perception and sensory experience, as well as ethics and social engagement. At the heart of our critical interest, therefore, lies the design of private and public living spaces and the ubiquity of media, which are becoming increasingly ingrained in our lives.
The research focus currently comprises three ‘working groups’, which are described in more detail below.
Working Group: Resonance Spaces
The “Resonance Spaces” working group, launched in 2021, brings together the artistic research of faculty members from various degree programs (Interior Architecture, Communication Design, Architecture, Media Management).
The name of the “working group” programmatically refers to the concept of resonance in the sense of a successful relationship with the world (according to Hartmut Rosa), as it manifests itself in private and public spaces. The dramaturgy and drama of these spaces are explored through artistic means in various media formats.
Research Interests: Innovative renovation and conversion of historic buildings, as well as design, construction, architectural history, and architectural theory
Working Group: Media Transformation
The Media Transformation Working Group focuses on media transformation and the associated innovations, products, and processes in the areas of content creation, interactive media, and media experience.
The approach to these topics is interdisciplinary in both content and methodology, drawing on media and cultural studies, design theory, human-computer interaction, and the science of technology.
Research Interests: Methods, Processes, and Management of Design; Design and Production of Moving Images; Intercultural Communication and Branding; Cross-Media Campaigning; User Experience Design
Forschungsinteressen: Crossmediale Bewegtbildkonzeption, Nutzer*innenzentrierte Format-entwicklung, Digitale Transformation in der Medienkonzeption und -produktion, Content Marketing & Branded Entertainment
Working Group: CCI
The Institute for Corporate Communication & Identity (CCI) within the Department of Design, Computer Science and Media (DCSM) was founded in 2024. Under the leadership of Prof. Jörg Waldschütz and Prof. Dr Dr Alexander Moutchnik as his deputy, the CCI brings together and intensifies interdisciplinary research in the fields of communication design, corporate communication and reporting.
As part of the DCSM’s ADRIMA (Artistic & Design Research in Media & Architecture) research focus, the CCI supports the academic activities of its members through practice-oriented projects and collaborations.
