Exchange programme for students and teachers within the framework of the DAAD ISAP programme

Research cooperation with the Theodor Fontane Archive Potsdam

The Close-Up Cloud introduces a visualisation approach that challenges the separation of overview and detail. For this, the iconographic details of images are summarised to reveal visual patterns in a collection and to stimulate exploration through the holdings.

Research into post-digital art scenes, their spaces of practice, appropriation and reception, and the development of artistic-aesthetic mediation concepts for cultural education in exchange with the research practices carried out.

The SENSES project translates complex scientific climate scenario information into relevant knowledge for different user groups.

Cooperation with the German National Library to research interactive visualisations of a comprehensive bibliographic collection

In the "Design nicht 0815" project, the curricula of the design degree programmes at FH Potsdam are being further developed with the aim of integrating central competences for the digitally shaped world of work.

In this project, we explore the potential of dynamic arrangements of a comprehensive coin collection based on different facets such as origin, material type, period, weight and size. The resulting layouts push the boundary between the physical display of coins and the representation of abstract data patterns that characterise the collection.
