3D worlds and reality. Natural and unnatural haptics in organic shapes and simulations. How do we differ between what is digitally made with technical tools and what is created by nature. What does technique adapt from nature in mathematical processes and how can we relate that to the nature of code?

What do images mean today? What is the context? What is the images boundary?

Image <> Interpretation <> Method <> Analogue <> Digital <> Tool

»It is precisely the image detail that constitutes the infinity beyond the image space as a counterpart to the object located in the image. The photograph is an incomplete object that permanently refers to its absent counterpart.«

»The principle of distancing is based on the viewer's analytical-reflective (as opposed to empathetic) visual competence, which the viewer develops during comparative viewing.«

SoSe 2023 - Bauhaus-Universität Weimar - Space for Visual Research - Graphicdesign

In this course we were diving deeper into node systems in Touchdesigner dealing with reactivity and interactivity. Through 3 various workshops with the following topics generate, react, interact - we created visuals, made them for example audio reactive and in the end created interfaces or connected external devices to our system.

Second guessing the interface between analogue and digital instruments
What do tools mean for design? Which ones do we use?
How do we use them?
What limitations do they have, what functions do we want?

In this course we will deal with the creation of our own design tools and systematics in an open-ended and experimental way. Analogue tools, materials, generative thinking, creative coding: Systems: Analogue and digital. Transforming input into output. Systematic experimentation. Space for visual Instruments. Extracting a pool of outputs underlying an algorithm in words or in code.

First we explore the analog, how can we generate output through self-made tools and systematics?


Next we explore the digital: how can we collect, connect, sort, combine and reinterpret the analog output. One course, two tools: analog generation and digital systematization. We will focus on the generation of pools and the meaning of tools.
This semester’s “Space for Visual Research”-Course consists of two approaches, two implementations and two teaching- methods by Lena Weber and Tamara Knapp. With special workshop guest Xaver Hirsch.

A workshop series using only one printer. Reusing one visual input again and again.From small to big - from big to small. Archives. Tools. Objects. Materials. Through iterations we find new images, textures and details hidden in the image itself. Through the technical machine process images are going to be redefined through a mechanical process by hand.
