Juliane Fink: What's in a walk
Department: Industrial Design

„It’s going to be the sunny side from now on. Get out, all of you.“ (Frank O’Hara) Being fascinated with walking, my diploma project is an homage to this seemingly simple practice. In telling a story about the cultural history of walking along the lines of its prerequisites - free time, accessible space and a body free from restraints - I try to capture the political power walking holds as well as the simple joy of moving through the world at 5 km/h – chatting with friends, drifting, taking breaks and exploring.

Philipp Tsetinis: Unknown Polyphenism
Department: Applied Photography and Time-Based Media

The UNKNOWN POLYPHENISM project uses a thought experiment to investigate how future evolutionary adaptations could affect a subsequent generation. Changes, both in terms of technology and society as a whole, sometimes take place in large steps, but usually many future developments change our daily lives almost imperceptibly and slowly. The series, composed of nine photographic stagings, hypothetically provides individual fragmentary insights into how a subsequent generation would adapt to future developments through 'adaptive plasticity', a phenomenon of polyphenism.

Christoph Wimmer: Shaping Residue
Department: Industrial Design

Working with what’s already here. Using industrial residue of the metal-industry as „new“ materials in the field of furniture design. By utilizing pre-given structures that are regularly thrown away by companies, the design and shaping process is different: you have to adapt to the previous shapes, tear them out of their context and form them outside of they are meant to be, while still responding to their attributes and advantages and not by seeing them as unusable junk. The rests always coming back allows to plan ahead, and to multiply the outcome.

Johanna Philipp: Follw the Rainbow
Department: Graphics and Advertising

Homosexual acts are punishable by death, books with positive LGBTQIA+ content are taboo and there are discussions about banning the rainbow flag and thus also Pride. This is the reality in many countries. The diploma project "Follow the Rainbow" developed a symbol for the LGBTQIA+ community that cannot be censored. Namely: a real rainbow. The work includes a weather app that announces the next rainbow in order to be able to legally celebrate a Pride.

Fritz Haßler: Treacherous Roads
Department: Fashion

For my collection, Treacherous Roads I created an alter ego cosplaying different personas for the collection, and let him go on an imaginary road trip on Google Maps through the United States. As the trip progressed and the places changed, I imagined the character morphing and transforming with them, cosplaying different versions of myself within different societal frameworks and exploring different nuances of gender expressions through clothing choices.

Dominik Einfalt: troost - bleibende Erinnerung
Department: Graphic Design

Without death there is no life and everyone is confronted with their own demise sooner or later, yet withering and death is not the end but can be the beginning of new growth. "troost - lasting memory" is an alternative to previous burial methods and does not focus on death but on life and the circle of life. The project is an urn that can transform itself and the ashes inside it entirely into life in the form of mushrooms, thus bringing the material remains of the deceased person back into the circle of life.

Anton Defant: The Great Indoors
Department: Industrial Design 1

Running shoes with a suit, hiking backpack in the subway, functional outdoor wear is no longer reserved for those who wish to protect them selfs from the elements in nature. There high efficiency and functionality allowed their relevance to shift into urban and domestic settings. //Homes are no longer anchored but like basecamps travel with us trough towns and Countries depending on the momentary circumstances of our lives. Most of our furniture is not compatible with such lifestyle. Besides essentials like sleeping cooking and facilities (light, water, heating), the resting object is the next one that defines our well being at home, it is also the least flexible one when it comes to moving. Acquiring a new one every time is easier than disassembling, transporting and storing of the already existing. // Although designed for a completely different environment, functionally, camping furniture matches these requirements, but we tend to decide against them based on their appearance, quality and long term comfort. Improving these qualities would elevate camping furniture to an affordable and flexible alternative to low cost furniture. This opens up a new category of furniture that would after proving their selfs in the great outdoors, could now conquer territories of the great indoors as well.
