It was always clear to us that the flagship project “Dolography” of our alumna Sabine Affolter has a high impact. Now the effectiveness of the visual pain assessment tool has also been scientifically confirmed. Accordingly, it “helps to obtain clinically relevant information not previously expressed by the patient.” Read more at https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00482-021-00532-x. #designresearch

It was impressive how you managed to push your projects forward and bring them to a good end despite the uncertain circumstances caused by 🦠. We hope you will keep your studies in good memory. We will miss you and hope that we will soon be able to 🥂 with you in real life – although the virtual apéro 🎤 was quite something, too!

Ulrike Felsing and Max Frischknecht, lecturer and alumni of the HKB MA Design, contributed to the symposium “Shifts in Mapping” organized by the Masterstudio Design and the HeK - Haus der elektronischen Künste Basel. The symposium discussed current positions, projects, concepts and methods in mapping and put them in a larger context. Find more information at https://shiftsinmapping.ch (web design by Début Début).

Congratulations to our alumna, Marika Simon, on her successful crowdfunding! In her “Spital-Lab”, she enables young patients to explore and co-design their hospital ward with playful tasks methods. As a result, she hopes to find ideas for designing the ward of the future – by young patients for young patients. Follow the process soon at http://www.spital-lab.ch/.

So if you are still looking for a real Christmas present, you can find it on https://copalana.org/projects/station-der-zukunft!/509#.





Copalana hosts authentic projects requiring funding

As a warm-up for his guest lecture Forschungs-Mittwoch: Entreprecariat Career as Rapid Prototyping we recommend Silvio Lorusso’s reflections on his involvement in graphic design and design education “No Problem: Design School as Promise” at https://networkcultures.org/entreprecariat/no-problem-design/.

With great regret, our valued head of the Fachbereich Gestaltung und Kunst, Andreas Vogel, is leaving the Hochschule der Künste Bern HKB / Haute école des arts de Berne HKB. In the last years, Andreas has led the Fachbereich democratically and collaboratively and successfully profiled it as a more personal alternative to larger institutions. Now we are looking for a successor to continue this project and bring new ideas to the Fachbereich.

Daniela Moser gefällt an der BFH ganz besonders die Atmosphäre. «Sie ist irgendwie positiv, anregend und optimistisch. Wir alle wollen lernen, vorwärtskommen, etwas bewegen. Dieser Spirit beflügelt mich schon seit über 30 Jahren.»

Congratulations to Wir Publizieren for being selected as one of five exciting initiatives (besides Futuress, Decolonize Zurich, MACACO Press and Station of Commons) at VOLUMES, Art Publishing Days for a carte blanche! https://www.volumeszurich.ch/volumes-2020





We are very sad that this year we can only meet virtually on the VOLUMES, Art Publishing Days website. We would have been one of the five carte blanche projects in Zurich that could have been discovered.

We are honored to be in the company of such great projects as MACACO Press, Futuress, Decolonize Zurich and Station of Commons and to be featured on the VOLUMES, Art Publishing Days Website.

Merci Beaucoup!

Trotz erfolgreichen Schutzkonzepten der Kulturveranstalter*innen bringt der Kanton Bern mit restriktiven Schutzregelungen die Kultur zum Schweigen, während für Wirtschaftsbetriebe andere Massstäbe gelten. Für viele Künstler*innen und Kulturschaffende bedeutet diese eine existenzielle Bedrohung.

At today’s Junior Design Research Conference organised by our colleagues at the HSLU Hochschule Luzern, the new exploration section of the website was launched at https://junior-research.ch/explore. The goal was to visualize how programmes, disciplines, interests and identity-related aspects relate. Congratulations to our alumnus Max Frischknecht and his colleagues at Début Début for the implementation and happy exploring!
