Digital:Sovereignty

What is digital sovereignty, and how can it be enabled by design? Students from the Department of Computer Science at Freie Universität Berlin and the Department of Product Design at weißensee school of art and design berlin explored these questions interdisciplinary as part of the interdisciplinary course Coding IxD by means of Neo-analogue artefacts, i.e., products that represent a synthesis of the virtual and the material in form and function. The results of this project has been showcased in an interactive exhibition at the Weizenbaum Institute Berlin from February 17 – 23, 2022. A review of the exhibition of the exhibition can be downloaded below.

The semester project was supervised under the direction of Prof. Dr. Claudia Müller-Birn, Freie Universität Berlin, Prof. Thomas Ness, weißensee school of art and design berlin, Prof. Judith Glaser, weißensee school of art and design berlin and Peter Sörries, Freie Universität Berlin and is part of the Cluster of Excellence »Matters of Activity. Image Space Material«.

The exhibition was supported by the Digital Autonomy Hub and kindly hosted by the Weizenbaum Institute.
