Together. A digital, interactive and hybrid exhibition of international research results.
TOGETHER, Communicaton and Design for Intercultural Understanding is an
international research project, proposed by the HfK+G, University of Applied
Sciences for Communication and Design, funded for 3 years by the Ministry
of Science Research and Art in Baden-Wuerttemberg. It started in the
summer semester 2019 and lasted until september 2021. We cooperated
with Prof. Vladimir Frelih, Academy of Arts of the Josip Juraj Strossmayer
University of Osijek with his students and with Adam Guld, PhD,
Habil Assistant Professor of the Department of Communication and
Media Studies, University of Pécs with his students.
The project was based on an innovative teaching concept for intercultural
understanding, especially with the Danube region. Designthinking
and design processes formed the basis for the methodological approaches.
Four of the workshops were held in Ulm, Pécs, Stuttgart and Osijek.
When Corona emerged in 2020, we decided to continue the program in
online workshops. Corona also confronted us with the question and
challenge of how to publish the documentation and results of our research
workshops and, above all, make them possible to experience? A design
graduate of the HfK+G, Oliver Fritz, who meanwhile leads a research lab
in the field of VR, brought the solution: With the help of a virtual tour we
combined analog and digital representations. The virtual tour also includes
the possibility of integrating interactive elements such as video sequences,
audio sounds or animations.
