This installation is an interactive exploration of what kind of an appearance an artificial intelligence might choose, what questions it might ask and therefore what identity it could have. This chatbot is a counter design to the common commercial assistants that exist on the market. The dialogues shown in the excerpts are only a few of many possible ones that can be experienced interactively through conversation.

The chatbot will change the appearance depending on the flow of the conversation to anything unorganic, living or immortal just to find it's true form. The form triggers different perspectives from nature to compare the evolutionary, biological and mortal with the digital.

Questions that the bot asks are randomly generated. Not only linguistic elements are thrown together, but also visual ones. For this purpose, a tool was programmed that can be used to illustrate, animate and tag the result with terms that evoke them. Thus, depending on the content of the conversation, different compositions result.

In 2019, the current corporate design of ABK Stuttgart was introduced. The extensive design and implementation of the corporate identity was undertaken by Raphael Berg, Jasmina Begović and Abdelhamid Ameur, supervised by Prof. Uli Cluss, AM Stefanie Schwarz and the professors of the Communication Design program. The custom typeface ABK Stuttgart designed by Stefanie Schwarz and Dirk Wachowiak reflects upon more than 100 years of typographic tradition of the academy by taking up features and details of historical typefaces and reinterpreting them.

The Design Manual explains design principles, technical details as well as guidelines and the handling of the elements, including logo, business card, letterhead, templates for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, certificate, folder, stamp, as well as flags and janitorial clothing.

‘Narrating Africa is an impossible task due to the cultural, linguistic diversity’ and at the same time an ‘interesting’ and ‘brave topic’, reflects Namibian writer Rémy Ngamije. The Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach – together with partners from universities and institutions in Germany, Switzerland and Namibia – takes on this challenge by asking questions such as ‘How do we narrate Africa as a continent and its diversity? Which images and stereo types, which colonial and national ideologies can we find in literature about Africa and how does literature shape, continue or do away with them in turn?’

STEPTHREE focuses on literary texts and cultural objects that narrate Namibia. The selection of texts portrays the multilingual Namibian society. Together, texts and objects represent snapshots of Namibian literature and culture. Scholars and writers discuss and contextualise their meaning and narration, but also raise further questions. Come and see for yourself.

"How do we tell stories about Africa: about a continent and its diversity? Which images and stereotypes, which colonial and national ideologies determine literature about Africa and are shaped, disseminated or dismantled by it? In an open space exhibition, we discuss this with texts, archival finds, lecture performances, and conversations with partners from Namibia and writers from Africa and Europe, among others."

in collaboration with the Literaturmuseum der Moderne Marbach we designed the exhibition "Narrating Africa", for which we developed a system to transfer content from different curators into one exhibition space. The design concept offers the possibility to add content to the exhibition step by step over a longer period of time and to link it with each other by commenting on it. The table tops are covered with magnetic ferrofoil printed image motifs and quotations and are supplemented by expandable cards and leporellos, which, equipped with magnets, adhere to the table but can also be held in the hands. The visitor is invited to settle down on seat cushions, to open and discover the various contents and to surrender to an unusual sense of space. The visual language can be found on accompanying media such as posters, postcards, the program or the website.

in order to make the contents of this book more accessible I went ahead to replace the so often mathematical and verbal explanation of astronomical and physical phenomena in space with everyday associations to objects and things by means of illustrations.

For most, digital networking has become a lifeline during the period of curfews. In addition, many have decluttered their homes and offered discarded items to their neighbors via eBay Kleinanzeigen, so as not to lose contact with the outside world. The exhibition Odds Without Ends uses eBay Kleinanzeigen, the largest digital platform for classified ads in Germany, as an exhibition space for site-specific works.

Odds Without Ends uses eBay Kleinanzeigen as an exhibition space and brings art directly to bargain hunters' homes. The works on display use the ad space as their medium and the vented space as their public. Each work is live for a limited time only, during which it may be discovered by accident or on purpose. The works unfold over a maximum of 60 days - the maximum lifespan of ads on eBay Kleinanzeigen - following their own logic of exchange and participation. The exhibition Odds Without Ends features works developed specifically for eBay Kleinanzeigen by students in the Brenner/Bitnik class. It was organized by the !Mediengruppe Bitnik.
