  Animated film: Austria's Cluster of Excellence – Expedition into the Future

  Austria's nine clusters of excellence conduct fundamental research at the highest scientific level on key topics: energy storage, quantum technologies, global health, the future of knowledge, brain research, Eurasian cultural heritage, healthy ageing, artificial intelligence and materials research. Our challenge was to present all research priorities in a short video.

  16 video portraits: Outstanding scientists in Austria

  We produced two series of video portraits featuring leading Austrian scientists for the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). Every year, the FWF awards grants to enable cutting-edge scientific research. Our task was to communicate the often highly complex research topics in an understandable and entertaining way in form of interviews and motion graphics. It was important to the FWF to show that research can make a difference and bring about change. Published on scilog.fwf.ac.at

  C/O Vienna Books – Climate change, regenerative biology, fashion history

  C/O Vienna Books are book-magazine hybrids focusing on a specific topic with an academic emphasis. The topics—climate change (Clouds), regenerative biology (Scars) and fashion history (Underwear)—are supplemented with photo series and interviews with scientists and artists. The aim is to create something that is beautiful to leaf through, but also encourages reading and challenges the intellect.

  Magazine relaunch: Doctors Without Borders

  A responsible task that we are very proud of. We were asked to relaunch the magazine ‘einsatz’ (formerly “Diagnose”) for ‘Doctors Without Borders’ (Austria). A large part of the NGO's work is also research, which we focused on more in the relaunch. How can I produce clean drinking water? How can I keep blood reserves cool? How can prostheses be produced cheaply using 3D printers?

  Exhibition & Digital Archive: Stadtmacherei Nuremberg

  The exhibition Stadtmacherei (City Making) at the Neues Museum Nürnberg (2020) was created in the context of the 2025 Capital of Culture application as a transmedia research and communication project on the importance of independent creative work for urban transformation processes. The walk-in installation and the growing digital archive allow visitors to experience the city as a collaboratively produced, processual knowledge and network structure. The screen design by Bernhard Poppe and Andreas Pawlik was awarded the Josef Binder Award 2022.

  Documentary film: Frederick Kiesler – ‘Life is short, Art is long, Architecture endless’

  ‘Spatial stage, spatial theatre, spatial city and spatial sculptures’: the artistic medium of the Austro-American architect, stage designer, designer, artist and theorist Friedrich Kiesler (1890-1965) was space. His projects were visionary, and his theories are still considered utopian today. This film, shot primarily in New York, where Kiesler lived, uses his oeuvre, including the Endless House, to show how transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary the work of this multi-talented artist was. We talk to gallery owners, contemporary witnesses and Kiesler experts and visit hidden archives. A film in progress.

  Exhibition & video series: ‘Change Your Perspective!’

  EuroVision: Museums Exhibiting Europe (EMEE) 

  
  A European project for national and regional museums that included research, exhibitions, an extensive video series and various publications. Our collaboration took us to five European cities, from Graz and Sofia to Ljubljana, Lisbon and Rome. We interviewed museum experts, curators and visitors on site to find out how they imagine the museum of the future. The result was a video series documenting the research from a wide variety of perspectives.

  Exhibition at the MAK (Vienna): ‘Tomorrow is ...’

  How do you adequately prepare complex content – in this case, almost 45 future projects by Viennese creatives – for the museum? The two curators, Prof. Martina Fineder and Eva Kraus, addressed these questions scientifically and, together with Andreas Pawlik, Moritz Lochner (dform) and Julian Roedelius (r-g.io), developed a multimedia installation for the exhibition "Tomorrow is... 10 Years of departure" at the MAK Vienna, for which we produced almost an hour of video material in German and English.
