Aufgrund des demografischen Wandels, gesteigerten Nachhaltigkeitsanforderungen sowie der erforderlichen Steigerung der Resilienz wirtschaftlicher Prozesse, nimmt die Relevanz von digitalen Assistenzsystemen für die Arbeitswelt stetig zu. Insbesondere der immersiven Technologie Augmented Reality (dt. erweiterte Realität ¿ AR) wird eine besondere Unterstützungswirkung als Schnittstelle zwischen Mensch und Maschine in der digitalen Produktion beigemessen. In dieser Arbeit wird das Potenzial von Augmented-Reality-gestützter digitaler Assistenzsysteme für den Einsatz in der industriellen additiven Produktion ganzheitlich untersucht und anhand einer Systementwicklung zur unterstützenden Begleitung manueller Tätigkeiten in der Prozesskette des Laserstrahlschmelzverfahrens demonstriert und wirtschaftlich bewertet. Angesichts der interdisziplinären und anwendungsorientierten Natur dieser Aufgabe, wurde die gestaltungsorientierte Forschung als Rahmenwerk gewählt, welche die zweckdienliche und stringente Nutzung methodischer Werkzeuge zur Erschließung menschenzentrierter Systeme als Kern hat. Das entwickelte System befähigt Nutzende ohne Vorerfahrung zur Durchführung komplexer Rüst- und Wartungsaufgaben an der Produktionsanlage und trägt hierbei zu einer signifikanten Fehlerreduktion im Vergleich zur konventionellen Wissensvermittlung bei.

The students developed individual or collective concepts for performances and learnt how to develop a long-term performative work form in an experience-based process. In a workshop entitled "Cleaning the House", which was organised according to a method developed by Marina Abramovicmethod developed by Marina Abramovic, the students developed a sense of the presence required in performances, including the exploration of their individual physical and mental limits.

Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard (Sculpture) (A Throw of the Dice Will Never AbolishChance) is a close copy of the 1914 edition of French symbolist Stéphane Mallarmé's poem of thesame name, but with all the words cut out by laser. Published sixteen years after the death ofthe poet, Un coup de dés became famous for its intimate combination of free verse and unusualtypographic layout. The twenty-page-long poem anticipated the interest in graphic design andconcrete poetry that emerged in the twentieth century.The preface of Michalis Pichler's version of Mallarmé's masterpiece features the entire poemwritten as a block of text with each line separated by a slash ( / ). Twelve double spreads follow,with immaculately cut-out windows standing in for the text. As you turn the pages, numerousshadows are generated by the cut-outs.The first edition of Michalis Pichler was published in 2008 and quickly sold out. This new editionmakes the artist book accessible again.Michalis Pichler is an artist operating on both sides of the imaginary border between visual artand literature and one of the founders and organizers of Miss Read and Conceptual Poetics Day.A monograph of his work was co-published by Spector Books and Printed Matter, Inc

Europe, indeed the whole world, is littered with concentration-camp memorials, information centres, memorial plaques, and other signs that have been set up as a reminder of the atrocities committed by the National Socialists and their numerous willing helpers. In the United States alone, there are around 100 Holocaust memorials. In Germany, there are over 500 of all kinds of memorial facilities commemorating the Nazi victims (without the uncounted »Stolpersteine« by Gunter Demnig installed in memory of individual Nazi victims). Perhaps without these facilities, the deeds of that time would have longsince been forgotten. Nevertheless, the memories of what happened are fading everywhere. Almost all of those once affected, victims and perpetrators, have now passed away, and many of us today would rather not be bothered by it.How should we deal with this? Remembrance can only be present and have an effect in the future if those dealing with the subject succeed in touching us emotionally in such a way that what we hear, read and see causes us to beginto deal intensively with what happened and and ask questions: How could so many of our ancestors be so merciless, so inhuman? How could these monstrosities happen? How was this possible, especially in Germany, against the backdrop of the Enlightenment, German Humanism, German Classicism, German Romanticism and the highly developed German culturein general? And as the present unfortunately shows, much of this has since been repeated - even in places where one would no longer have expected it.The author has visited over 60 memorial sites himself in the last 40 years and has been personally involved in many of them as an architect, designer and artist. The book presents his views on the design of Nazi memorials and information centres with numerous examples of his own, illustrated with photographs and drawings. For the author, the creative confrontation with the Nazi past is a means of naming and visualising the suffering and cruelty of which people are capable, using all the artistic means at his disposal.

"An Endless Thread serves as a long-overdue celebration of Grant, who has long advocated for the intersection of cultural pride, style, and a maintaining of tradition.”—VoguePart look-book, part memoir, and part history, this beautifully illustrated monument to a singular designer who helped inspire the growing Indigenous fashion movement is also a powerful demonstration of the enduring resonance and possibilities of Haida art.Inspired by a discussion with celebrated Haida artist Bill Reid, Haida designer Dorothy Grant made it her life’s mission to bring her culture’s traditional art into contemporary fashion while adhering to the principle of Yaguudang, or respect for oneself and others. The 1989 launch of her Feastwear collection, featuring modern silhouettes hand-appliquéd with Northwest Coast formline, immediately established her at the forefront of Indigenous fashion in North America, and she has since hosted runway shows and trunk sales from Paris to Vancouver to Tokyo. Her clients include Indigenous leaders, national politicians, and global celebrities, and her garments can be found in museums and galleries around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Dorothy Grant: An Endless Thread is the first monograph to celebrate her trailblazing career. It features new photography of dozens of garments spanning the past four decades, modeled in studio and natural settings in Vancouver and Haida Gwaii, alongside sketches, traditional button robes and spruce-root weaving, and personal stories and reflections from Grant. Essays by Haida repatriation specialist and museologist Sdahl Ḵ’awaas Lucy Bell and curator India Rael Young place Grant in the long continuum of Haida fashion and trace the many innovations and accomplishments of her journey, and Haida curator and artist Kwiaahwah Jones, a longtime assistant to Grant, shares behind-the-scenes insights and memories. An associated exhibition, Dorothy Grant: Raven Comes Full Circle, opens at Haida Gwaii Museum in July 2024.

This is a collection of the best work done in 2023 by David Apricot, a raising star in the graphic arts scene in Australia. The collection contains what is hands down the best generative AI work being done out there - maybe anywhere in the world. The fact that the work often looks like hand-drawn paintings or having been made with traditional artist techniques is a testament to the artist's determination to avoid labels about process and focus on the content. David Apricot is primarily an Expressionist, but is also deeply interested in the abstractions and decorative pattern of his Australian heritage. Not being aboriginal, he avoids explicit aboriginal symbolism (the rainbow serpent, secret churinga stones, and the like) but feels free to take inspiration from contemporary Australian Aboriginal masters such as the great Ronnie Tjampitjinpa and Judy Napangardi Watson.Note that because these works are entirely digital, a sampling of them is available as NFTs. Information about buying those works is discussed in the book. These works are also available for purchase through print-on-demand technology, or even as signed, collectable art prints. Please contact the artist for more details.
