Optimistic Design at the Art and Culture Festival Cologne

Exhibition and Talk at about:communication

Apr 14, 2025

As part of the 23rd Kunst- und Kulturmeile, Philippe Bietenholz and I presented our works at about:communication. Alongside the exhibition, we gave a talk about Optimistic Design — exploring how design processes, Solarpunk visions, and 3D printing as a decentralized system can open new perspectives for production and creativity.

The focus was on optimism as a design strategy: how technology and imagination can shape hopeful futures instead of dystopian ones.
