Initial exhibition "rundum Energie" at TU Wien, 25.-29.09.2023

The focus of this year's exhibition at TU Wien is on climate change and renewable energies. 

With the help of interactively designed stations, participants can acquire extensive knowledge about energy consumption. In addition, the teaching team of the Centre for Didactics for Art and Interdisciplinary Teaching (Head: Ruth Mateus-Berr) at the University of Applied Arts Vienna will be showing an artistic data visualisation with desired participation.

Students supervised, designed and realised the exhibition. 

The centrally located Energy Cafe creates space to let the newly acquired knowledge take effect. In addition, students can assemble furniture themselves, taking up the theme of recycling materials. 

The students can give free rein to their creativity in a painting corner and be inspired by the artworks of the artists of the University of Applied Arts on the topic of energy supply.

In this model station, the goal is to fit as much furniture as possible in one room, while still making it energy-efficient. This demonstrates the nature and properties of building materials and their relationship to energy.

In a room equipped with cardboard furniture, pupils are to supplement this with electrical household appliances. Depending on the selection, the annual energy consumption increases or decreases, which is displayed on a barometer. This creates awareness of the energy consumption behind the various electrical appliances and passes on energy-saving tips for everyday life.

This station teaches how discarded materials are reused and upcycled to serve as furniture. Pallet benches, car tires, metal barrels, etc. can be assembled by the pupils themselves and used for reflection and relaxation during the exhibition.

Here, the students learn how cooling and energy generation work in a city. During a city walk, the young people install PV systems and green roofs and facades on the houses and directly experience the effect of these measures through thermometers and lamps.

Using a model of a fictitious urban-rural region and the interactive exchange of power plants and consumers, the question "How does energy get to me?" is addressed.

Art education workshops at mumok, October/November 2023

In the workshops at mumok, the students received valuable input on the topic of art education and continued to work on their creative projects with the support of the experts on site.

Educator introduction in the techLAB (TMW), November/December 2023

Cultural mediation workshops at the Vienna Museum of Science and Technology, December 2023/January 2024

The workshops at the Vienna Museum of Science and Technology focussed on the connection between science and our human emotions. Reflecting on the questions of how technological progress has influenced climate change or what feelings this development triggers in oneself served as food for thought for the pupils' further work on their creative projects.

Implementation workshops at techLAB (TMW), April/May 2024
