Objektas MAG DES DING

COME VISIT OUR EXHIBITION DURING VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 

Finissage 09.10.2016 5pm Fr 30.09.–So 9.10.2016 Cocktail 01.10.2016 17 Uhr Finissage 09.10.2016 17 Uhr

Dinge erzählen Geschichten von bisher unbeachteten Lebens- und Arbeitsweisen: Unter dem Titel MAG DES DING – eine Anspielung auf den akademischen Grad Mag. des. ind. – konzentriert sich die Ausstellung auf die Infiltration eines losen Kollektivs von Absolventinnen in die Designwelt und reflektiert über den individuellen Gestaltungsgeist der Industriedesignerinnen. Exponate treffen auf Objekte anderer Designschaffender, die zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt wesentlichen Einfluss auf die eigene Arbeitspraxis hatten. Sie erzählen von einem Hinter-den-Kulissen, von Entscheidungen und individuellen Wegen, die Designstudierende nach dem Abschluss einschlagen können.

MAG DES DING

Wir sagen „Schuster, bleib bei deinen Leisten“ oder machen „die Rechnung ohne den Wirten“. Wir beschweren uns über „zu viele Köche, die den Brei verderben“ und haben dabei ein sehr spezifisches Bild von Beruf im Kopf: fachmännisch und linear. Unsere Sprache ist voller Aphorismen und Redensarten, die eine simple Vorstellung von Arbeitswelt vermitteln. Dass Karrierewege heute schon lange nicht mehr so stringent sind, zeigen zwölf Industriedesignerinnen in der Ausstellung MAG DES DING. Die Frauen verbindet ihre Ausbildung an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien und ihr dadurch erworbener akademische Titel MAG. DES. IND. (mistra designationis industrialis). Was sie voneinander unterscheidet sind vielfältige Arbeitsweisen und Tätigkeitsfelder.   Für MAG DES DING konfrontieren sie ihre eigenen Arbeiten mit Objekten ihrer Vorbilder und formieren diese zu einem spannenden Beziehungsgeflecht. Die Designerinnen sind einander Vorbilder, Inspirationen und Orientierung aber auch Reibungsfläche, Kontrapunkt und Demarkation.  Eine Verortung der eigenen Position im Feld des Designs findet in Abgrenzung zur und im Zusammenspiel mit der jeweils anderen statt. In den Geschichten, die die zwanzig ausgestellten DINGE von insgesamt mehr als zwanzig Frauen erzählen, werden die Vielschichtigkeit und die Verwobenheit der Designbranche genauso sichtbar wie individuelle Schwerpunkte und Wegentscheidungen. Die Ausstellung thematisiert darüber hinaus die Rolle von Vorbildern und Kollektiven in der Kreativwelt. Beide sind gleichermaßen notwendig um eine starke Stimme zu entwickeln und sie helfen dabei, sich Sichtbarkeit und Raum zu verschaffen. Insbesondere dann, wenn es darum geht, mit den eingangs zitierten Normvorstellungen zu brechen. Indem die Absolventinnen im Austausch bleiben und sich für MAG DES DING zusammenschließen um ihre Positionen zu verhandeln, reflektieren sie dieses Zusammenspiel mit erfrischender Leichtigkeit.  

We all know that ‘too many cooks spoil the broth’, ‘who pays the piper calls the tune’, or we even go on ‘a busman’s holiday’.   When we say things like this, we have a very clear-cut image of a certain profession in mind: a craftsmannlike, a linear one. Our language is full of aphorisms and idioms which convey a quite one-dimensional idea of certain careers.   However, nowadays careers do not follow such a straightforward path any more, which is illustrated by twelve female industrial designers in the exhibition MAG DES DING (“love this thing”). What these women all have in common is that they all studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and share the same title of MAG. DES. IND. (Magistra designationis industrialis). What is different about them is that they then went on to develop diverse techniques and to work in different fields. For MAG DES DING, they are contrasting their own works with the respective work that inspired them and thereby form an exciting and complex interplay between them. The designers serve each other as models, inspiration, and point of orientation to draw upon, but also as someone to rub up against, as a counterpoint, and demarcation. Each position in the field of designs is only defined in relation to and in the interplay with the respective other.   The stories the twenty exhibits tell reveal the complexity of the design industry as well as the role of individual emphases and design decisions. The exhibition also highlights the function of role models and collectives in the creative world. Both are equally necessary in order to develop a strong voice and they help the artist to emerge and to catch the public’s attention- especially when it is about challenging afore-mentioned old and one-dimensional thinking. Through active exchange and collaboration for MAG DES DING they reflect this interplay in a refreshing way.

Various projekts demand from her human-centered approach to product design, people and there environment. Together with a team of seven teenagers between the age 15 - 25 years. Mostly the kids came from a very heavy sozial background. Together she created some designs and rough “mock ups” of shelf systems. The kids came up with a lot of smart ideas within only 2 days. For here as a professional designer it was a big surprise to support the hole developing process together with this hightly talented people.

Street Light Concept

We waste a lot of energy resources by wrong placement of unnecessary light sources. 20% of the global electricity is consumption for street lightning. Todays street lights radiates in the wrong direction and pollute the night sky.This gives the so-called "light pollution" effect.  This glowing sky around Vienna for example has a diameter of 100 km. 90% of the stars are already "downed" by light.

Light pollution further has a bad effect on human health misbalance the day and night rhythm, for animals it has a much more drastic influence ("Tower-kill phenomenon", disorientation, etc. ).

Based on that facts we created a lightning system, which saves energy by using highly developed led-technologie, also we focused on directing the lights where it is really needed. Due to the shape there can no light emit upward. The second smaller lamp can easily be adapted. Through the detection of persons and vehicles the lights are more efficient and the energy consumtion can be reduced drastically Also the servicing of the lamps is much more easy to handle.

RADICAL IDEA ON PACKAGING FOOD 

The production process of food – as well as the commonly used practices of packing and marketing food products – involve a serious problem: customers are enticed to perform wastefully and carelessly, causing enormous amounts of rubbish and thus putting a severe strain on our fragile environment. Thus this project aims at supporting responsible customers when purchasing food to enable them to act with respect and sustainability when it comes to buying food. The design objects resulting from my project-work could not only provide an opportunity of rethinking the whole process of consuming but may also contribute to the global efforts.

Diploma project,  University of applied arts Vienna - under the profession of Fiona Raby.

depot_ 0411 - food storage concept

being part of the Vienna Design Week - stadtarbeit project 2013 with a food storage concept based on the fact that Industrialised food production is overexploiting the human being and the planet. The food we buy in supermarkets is packed in mountains of plastic waste material and chemically preserved. The project should demonstrate alternatives - uses traditional storage methods - revives ancient knowledge and should motivate a lively discussion about the way we deal with food.

ASIAN SOUP BOWL CONCEPT 

idea : raising up the bowl to make it more comfortable to pick up the long noodles.

2 part dishes: One tee cup at the base which, also has the function to rise up the soup bowl. Besides I focused on attributes like: long-lasting, practical, stackable, robust for usage in restaurants.
