CH Ludens – A Swiss History of Digital Games, Play and Game Design 1968–2000
The goal of this interdisciplinary project is to examine digital games developed in Switzerland during the second half of the last century as sources for the study of Swiss society from the perspectives of history, computer science, sociology, design, media studies, cultural studies and gender studies. In this way, we also want to consider the extent to which the different language regions of Switzerland experienced digitalisation independently, or in interaction with each other.
Queering Public Spaces
This preliminary project will develop a research project that addresses the improvement of urban planning processes through the involvement of members of the LGBTIAQ* community with the aim to improve public health.
Kommunikationsdesign im gewaltfreien Aktivismus
The project analyses communication design in the context of nonviolent activism using methods of design research and design anthropology. The aim is to set up a knowledge basis about how nonviolence as an activist practice is reflected in the design of relevant campaigns. Based on this, new insights into the relationship between violence, nonviolence and design will be gained.
