Project description

The inter-media semester exhibition (Take a Seat) of the Professorship of Typography & Type Design invites you to take a seat and discover the work of 34 students. On display are works from the courses: Message to the Cosmos, Typographic Survival Guide and Dimensions of One. Furthermore, the release of the 204 Type-Gazette - Issue 05 and the Set magazine is linked to the exhibition.

Sitting means not only lingering, but also experiencing and reflecting. The exhibition thus creates a space for encounters in which works can not only be viewed, but also enjoyed with leaning support - Take a Seat! (In addition to the regular exhibition time of the Winterwerkschau, a public presentation of the courses will take place on February 5 at Marienstraße 14, 1st floor).

Messages to the Cosmos. Imagine designing something that could be discovered by extraterrestrial beings in the distant future. In this project, you will create a message to be preserved in a time capsule, intended for discovery by unknown beings. This project challenges you to reflect on life on Earth from a designer’s perspective, crafting a message that communicates our civilization’s story across time and space.
