From GPS trackers in our phones to smart watches, the notion of being sensed – of turning human action into data – has become more the rule than the exception. What is remains unusual is using such devices to deeply expand our body in an artistic way, especially in the context of live performances for the stage. In this talk, Mark Coniglio delves into his long history as a creator of interactive performance to show what can happen when we use such tools to become the conductor of a media orchestra of video, sound and light – an ensemble that goes beyond being an accompaniment to become an extension to the body itself.
Mark Coniglio (born 1961 in Omaha, Nebraska) is a media artist, composer, and programmer. He is recognized as a pioneer in the integration of live performance and interactive digital technology. With choreographer Dawn Stoppiello he is co-founder of Troika Ranch, a New York City based performance group that integrates music, dance, theater and interactive digital media in its performance works.

After working for more than a decade for a sustainable fashion brand and presenting seasonal collections at the international fashion weeks in Paris, Milan and Berlin, a Finnish fashion designer Mila Moisio decided to start publishing a sewing magazine. What makes a fashion designer turn into an indie publisher? What is the contemporary DIY scene like? What could the fashion industry learn from makers and how would it change the way we think of fashion, if more people would engage in the process of making their own clothes? The story of starting the TAUKO magazine tells how we need to find new radical ways of thinking about fashion by bringing makers to the spotlight.
Mila Moisio is the editor in chief of an international craft magazine and a fashion designer with more than ten years of experience within the sustainable fashion industry. She has been running an award winning fashion label and developing an innovative textile reuse concept for design and production. Working within close collaboration with universities and research institutions she has found her passion in rethinking the structures of fashion. With a background in teaching and giving workshops at the Aalto University School of Art, Design and Architecture in Helsinki, she is now committed to making fashion more accessible within the means of DIY.

Gabor will take the audience on a journey starting with the basics of branding to the multiple challenges brands are facing in today’s fast changing world. He will illustrate the apparent contradictions and fundamental principles that drive identity in a multi-dimensional context. Sharing the day-to-day challenges a global brand consultancy is exposed to, Gabor will use some of Saffron’s work to show how strategy and design are an indivisible instrument to create meaningful branding solutions in a reality exposed to constant disruption.
Gabor leads the creative teams across Saffron’s international locations with over 20 years’ experience driving bold design work across the world. Working closely alongside the founders of Saffron, Jacob Benbunan and Wally Olins, he helped build Saffron into a leading global brand consultancy today.

Prof. Oded Ezer will show and tell about his unique design methods and work processes of some of the commercial, research-driven and experimental typographic projects he has created during the last 20 years, covering issues like Beauty, Aesthetics, Content, Shape and Type.
Oded Ezer is a Tel Aviv-based creative thinker, art director, typographic pioneer, type designer and design educator, who creates visual content and commentary around subjects such as science, anthropology, body-modification, ethics, fiction, religion, politics and writing systems, for cultural and commercial bodies such as MoMA, V&A Museum, Google, Samsung, Waze, Jerusalem Season of Culture and many others.

This talk is held at the ›Kunstraum Elsa‹ and will be streamed via Zoom as well.
In this lecture I will not only survey the work and methods of over 15 photographers who are emerging and only somewhat well known. It also intends to address the meaning and subtext of such practices in the individual works of the artists. Lens-less or camera-less photography is often read as the ultimate rejection of the retinal image plane (and the camera’s ability to represent), questioning it as a language, emerging from 1970s conceptual work. Is ditching the camera and lens a return to old ways or a radical new move against screens and the digital way of practicing?

The workshop is about the relationship between the human body and internal spaces. A short or long stay in a space always affects us. It is usually an immediate effect, and sometimes part of it stays with us in our memory. In this workshop, students will learn which elements influence us in a space. Understanding these elements will allow students to use them as part of designing a space for objects. The studies will initially focus on analyzing and understanding the interior spaces of private and public places. For example: What are the commonalities and differences between a synagogue, church, and mosque, and what makes temples inspiring; where does the power of fascistic buildings come from; and what kind of light in the dining room makes it cozy. The tools that will be acquired during this workshop will help students understand how the encounter with structures and spaces (such as the local street and city square) affects the human body and behavior of people both individually and as a group.
Please bring colored pencils or paint, drawing pencils, measuring tape and a notebook.

frog is glad to host a two-day session to learn and apply the basics in a production-ready DLS project.
Nowadays, design systems are changing the way we build products and services. As brands scale their digital efforts, they need a standardized design language that can scale with it. That’s where design systems come in. Design systems act as a single source of truth, enabling teams across projects to create products that offer a cohesive experience. With a design system in place, companies can deliver well-designed products and services to their customers faster.
After an introduction to the fundamentals and best practices, from Atomic Design to governance models, participants will receive a brief to start getting their hands on a real DLS project, learning how to create and manage a basic UI inventory like real professionals do. In the second part of the workshop, we will continue to grow our DLS and UI inventory: starting with an app of their choice, participants will be asked to leverage and create new components according to the look&feel of that app, in order to design high-fidelity, production-ready screens of a multi-touchpoint product.
Participants will be able to experience how designers work in a design agency to create real products, learning how to structure a DLS, Components, Tools and Plugins, Assess a DLS from 3rd party screens, delivering, sharing.

The workshop will focus on the idea of personal stories and telling them through drawings, paintings and textiles. It will explore basic tenets and ideas involved in creating thematic, abstract works. Based on visual and theoretical materials shared by the professor (images, reading list etc.), students will focus on investigation of personal history and inverting them in a new reality with colors, shapes, patterns and textures. They will develop personal projects to discuss formal, technical and conceptual ideas in sketches and in different materials such as silk and wool. Variety of fabrics, laces, metal, etc… will also be experienced. There will be individual and class discussions. Parallel to this, students will be guided individually in the development of their own ideas, offering support in working these out and thus in finding personal artistic expression.

Political dissent has been manifested and materialised through clothing for centuries. All over the world, vestimentary symbols are used – on the body or autonomously – to express political beliefs and protest. While their meanings vary, materiality and physicality are evocative and often unifying. Together, we will explore when, where and how dress has been and can be employed as visualised resistance – what agency is inherent in dress and fashion, and as a result how that might impact the roles of designers.
This workshop is held online but room 138 is available for working within the faculty.
