»Wer weiß? | Who knows?«: The summaery2022 had this deliberately ambiguous title and asked how, where and by whom knowledge is produced. Organized by the Faculty of Media, this year's annual show at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar was finally able to take place on campus again after a two-year pandemic.

On Friday 15 July 2022, Hannes Dünnebier was honoured with the Lyonel Art Prize during the »summaery2022« annual show at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. The award for outstanding young artists is endowed with €2,000 and has been conferred to artistic dissertations from the Faculty of Art and Design since 2019 by the Lyonel e. V. association for the promotion of art, design and culture.

This year, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s annual show has the intentionally ambiguous bilingual title of »Wer weiß? | Who knows?« and explores how, where and by whom knowledge is produced. The project »Hyperobjects – radical visions of the future / the limits of our human imagination« is among those due to be showcased: twenty students from the fields of art education, product design, media art and visual communication have each devoted themselves artistically to their own hyperobjects, i.e. topics whose extent surpasses the understanding of space and time. The spectrum ranges from collective phenomena such as climate change, the relationship between nature and technology or the scarcity of resources to topics like anonymity, identity, time, death or loss that affect people in different ways. We spoke to the students Antonia Stella Pfadenhauer and Maximilian Götz as representatives for all course participants and asked them about their work and »knowledge«.

From 24 to 26 March 2023, the 7th International Symposium on Architectural Outreach will be held on the campus of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Depending on the pandemic situation, the event may also take place hybrid or online.
