In collaboration with the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Programmable Materials and Wismar University of Applied Sciences | IF/THEN
Programmable puddles for urban squares, mouldable roofs for bad weather, bulletproof vests padded with starch - these and many other designs and prototypes were created in the "IF/THEN Artificial Natures" workshop. Under the guidance of Prof. Dr Johanna Schmeer and in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Programmable Materials, students and post-graduates from art and design degree programmes spent six months researching these new materials using various methods of discursive design. The results are now being presented in the HINTEN gallery.
A project of the FUNKEN Academy.
