das weisse haus
Interface Cultures geht ab 2022 eine neue Partnerschaft mit dem Weissen Haus in Wien ein: dwhX ist der digitale Zweig von das weisse haus, einer kollaborativen Plattform für zeitgenössische Kunst in Wien, Österreich. Der Kunstverein bietet entlang verschiedener Kooperationen ein lokal verankertes und international ausgerichtetes, experimentelles Programm aus Ausstellungen, Performances, Workshops und diskursiven Formaten. Neben einem Atelier- und Residencyprogramm verkörpert dwhX die dritte Säule von das weisse haus: Als flexible Struktur konzipiert, widmet sie sich der kritischen Reflexion der wachsenden Verschmelzung von analogen und digitalen Realitäten. Gemeinsam werden dwhX und Interface Cultures notwendige digitale Infrastrukturen für die Produktion und die Verbreitung zeitgenössischer Kunst online erforschen und ein Fellowship ins Leben rufen, das sich mit Fragen rund um die postdigitale Institution auseinandersetzt.

Design Research Lab
The Design Research Lab is a platform for interdisciplinary research into new forms of human computer interaction, critical making, community based infrastructures and digital education.
Several diverse groups are tied into the Design Research Lab network: As a team, we investigate future perspectives for a digital society, its ramifications, and policies for inclusive and sustainable development. We believe in participatory design and invite different groups of people to join our research endeavors in order to reflect on their individual experiences, hopes, and constraints. Furthermore, we work with interventions, cultural hacking and design explorations as research methods to address today’s challenges in a different way. Besides the professorship for design research at the College of Architecture, Media and Design at the Berlin University of the Arts, The Weizenbaum Institute investigates the current changes in all aspects of society occurring in response to digitalization.
The goals are to develop a comprehensive understanding of these changes based on rigorous academic analysis and to offer informed strategies to address them at a political and economic level. The Design Research Lab is involved with two research groups. Within the Einstein Center Digital Future Prof. Dr. Gesche Joost is principal investigator for the topic of digital humanities and society. For the DFKI the Interactive Textiles research group builds on extensive expertise in the field of concept development for electronic textiles and wearable technology and is dedicated to the design and analysis of portable interfaces based on textile materials and production techniques. Using the methods of interdisciplinary and participative design research, projects are developed around human-machine interaction with wearables and soft interfaces.
