Im ICE von Stuttgart nach Berlin haben wir gestern Jochen Rädeker befragt. Der Gründer und Manager der Designagentur Strichpunkt wird uns an diesem Donnerstag um 19:00 Uhr auf der TYPO Berlin in seinem Talk “Hello future – goodbye design! Wie die Zukunft Gestalt annimmt“ darüber sprechen, wie sich die Rolle des Designers in der Zukunft definiert und erklären, warum er Designer immer noch für den großartigsten Beruf der Welt hält.
A fascinating journey into generative type design with Eike Dingler. Building letterforms by filling geometric shapes with geometric patterns.
An dieser Stelle lenken wir unsere Aufmerksamkeit auf die Talente der neuen Generation, die dieses Jahr außerordentlich gut repräsentiert wird von unseren Sprechern Marlene Schufferth, Harry Keller und Christian Klier. Alle drei sind in Berlin ansässig und in Design-Agenturen, Start-ups und als Freelancer tätig.
George really wants to make you smile. Like REALLY really. Journey with him on a tour through his whimsical and playful world of interactive art. From turning heartbeats into music to flying mistletoe drones in public, see how his projects encourage fun.

Joachim Sauter’s talk re-introduced poetry in its many-splendored modernized forms. Joachim has had a long, decorated, but – according to him – not particularly focused career. There are two types of designers, he tells us, focusers and wonderers.
Gesche Joost from the research lab at Universität der Künste Berlin starts with the image of an interactive quilt that uses visual hints of interactive threat connected to an interface to tell stories. The stories change by folding the fabric in different shapes to create different patterns. In all her projects a group of researchers from different disciplines and expertise work together. The aim is to integrate interfaces that connect and feed back into society to improve it.
Professor Reto Wettach of IXDS, together with his colleague Nancy Birkhölzer gave an interesting talk on their perspective of the relationship humans have with the physical and digital world. The talk was largely based around the fact that people are increasingly interacting with the world around them using just a tiny screen and the tips of their fingers. They questioned how much emotion can possibly be expressed through this type of medium and whether or not we need new ways of incorporating technology into our lives which empower us to interact on a more human level.
Lehni’s work is an intersection of computer science, art, and engineering. He is interested in gestures of production and process. He self taught himself programming at a young age, and is interested in using programming to give things behavior and develop intuition while still maintaining control.
Offbeat(*) speaker Peter Gregson came to talk about his project ‘The Listening Machine‘, a sonification of the continuous stream of tweets by 500 selected UK twitter users. Composer Gregson created the piece together with collaborator Daniel Jones and Britten Sinfonia. It’s an unexpected talk at a design conference, but it did tie in nicely to the social theme of the conference.
Thomas Castro of Lust gave an eye-opening talk on the incredible work they are doing in what he calls “digital anthropology.”
Mike Monteiro of San Francisco-based Mule Design will speak at TYPO San Francisco this April! We are thrilled to have this local designer share his candid insights.
