After Confusion
CDS Master Group Exhibition
OKP Ferstel Trakt
Seminar Room 8
25. – 28.06., 11:00 – 21:00
Confusion is a volatile condition of the human mind signifying disorder in an unsettling blend of chaos and uncertainty. “After Confusion” is an exhibition of various works utilising multiple disciplines to explore disorientation across temporal, spatial, cognitive, and identity constructs. Beyond seeking for resolution, the works realised by the MA students in Cross-Disciplinary Strategies invite visitors to engage with shifting, puzzling narratives and concepts.

Forecast
CDS Bachelor Group Exhibition
Postsparkasse
CDS Studio
25. – 28.06., 11:00 – 21:00
The Department Cross-Disciplinary Strategies (CDS) presents “Forecast,” an exhibition showcasing Bachelor projects that critically and creatively engage with the concept of forecast. Bridging art, science, and philosophy, students present applied projects alongside reflective investigations that question the technologies, narratives, and power structures shaping our visions of heterogenous and oftentimes conflictual futures. From speculative design to data-driven scenarios, the works explore how forecasting informs action, imagination, and responsibility across disciplines engaging with global challenges.

Tuesday I Became Clouds
Group Exhibition
Postsparkasse
Seminar Room 34
25. – 28.06., 11:00 – 21:00
The exhibition shows artworks and series of visual essays that were developed as part of the course “Tuesday I Became Clouds” at the Department of Cross-Disciplinary Strategies in the winter semester 2024 / 2025. In exploring the annual theme of “Forecast”, our gaze wandered upwards. We were interested in the shape of things to come, specifically the everchanging shapes of clouds. We looked at the sky and various artistic and scientific ways of image making of clouds. We worked on actual reproductions of artworks and scientific instruments that looked at the clouds . In this way, we explored the potential of reproduction as an artistic strategy in interdisciplinary contexts – a way of seeing, understanding, producing and sharing knowledge.

This performance addresses and tries to digest the state of dementia. The two directors’ personal experiences are connected to extensions from psychology, literature theory, philosophy, and care work. It is a dialogue to accompany a gradually fading memory and its occasional comeback. The palliative turn’s body is still warm, and we hold its hand.
