Feeling Information – A Haptic, Interactive Infographic | Bachelor’s thesis by Marlene Kufner |

The bachelor's thesis "Feeling Information – A Haptic, Interactive Infographic" investigates how haptic elements can support infographics and create an emotional connection. By combining visual and tactile senses, a multisensory form of communication is intended to be established enriching the exchange of information and enhancing the processing of complex and abstract data. The potential of haptic elements is theoretically explored in the context of infographics, data visualization and multisensory perception. Expert interviews and practical examples from inclusive design, interactive exhibition design and early childhood education illustrate how haptic elements can be meaningfully integrated into design. In the practical part of the thesis, an interactive, haptic infographic titled "How Does the Future Feel?" is developed, utilizing insights gained from the research. Viewers can generate their own data using haptic elements allowing them to not only view the information visually but also experience it through touch.

Once upon a time … The Golden Apple | Bachelor’s thesis by Novak Larissa |

Stories have been told in all parts of the world for thousands of years and are an essential part of human culture. Evers story is based on a universal pattern that connects them all: the hero’s journey. In the first part of the work, the hero’s journey, for those discovery the author Joseph Campbell gained prominence, will be analyzed, and broken down into its storytelling structure. The aim is to find out how the storytelling of the hero’s journey can be interpreted in a contemporary context using a graphic novel. Based on this, the role of women will be examined in a way that reflect the zeitgeist. By critically examining these aspects, the second part of the thesis aims to create a specially created story with a contemporary-feminist storytelling within the framework of a graphic novel. This will be examined more closely by means of an empirical survey, the results of which will be discussed in the finds part of the thesis.

Bei dem Showcase „Intra Venam“ unserer Studierenden vereint sich ein akademisches Projekt mit einem absoluten Herzensprojekt.
Im Zentrum steht das Kernthema „Verlust und Gewinn“, das in einer ungeschönten Kurzdokumentation über die Musikindustrie sowie im neuen Musikvideo „the middle“ visuell auf die große Leinwand gebracht wird.

Die Premiere der Filme findet am 15.06. im KIZ Royal statt: inklusive Plakat-Ausstellung, Behind-the-Scenes-Material und einem Q&A.

Danach geht es direkt in den Scherbenkeller, wo FH Studentin und Sängerin Iman den Song live performt. Den Abschluss bildet die Afterparty in der Scherbe mit DJ-Set und gemeinsamer Celebration.

Film emulation in the digital era: A research of techniques for integrating analog film aesthetics into digital films | Bachelor’s thesis by Peter Verhounik|

This bachelor's thesis explores the transference of analog film elements to digital video and analyzes how the unique visual aesthetics of analog film can be emulated in a digital context. Key concepts such as exposure, contrast, sharpness, and saturation are defined in relation to the physical and perceptual characteristics of film, serving as a foundation for practical application in digital filmmaking. � A particular focus is placed on the analysis of aesthetic effects like halation, bloom, and grain, which are characteristic of analog film. The thesis provides a detailed comparison between analog processes and their digital counterparts, demonstrating how the development process of analog film can be translated into a digital workflow. Both technical and artistic aspects are examined to replicate the organic quality and visual character of analog film in the digital realm. � The theoretical insights are practically applied through the emulation of digitally filmed video material, considering various methods and software solutions. The evaluation of the emulation quality includes both technical specifications and subjective perceptions to assess the authenticity and impact of the digital reproductions. � This thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of the challenges and possibilities involved in the digital emulation of analog film and offers valuable insights into the advancement of digital filmmaking techniques, as well as the preservation of analog film aesthetics in the digital age. �
