+dimensions

The project +dimensions was an artistic and design research project at the weißensee school of art and design berlin, running from 2021 to 2025. It explored discrimination-free, hybrid learning spaces for research-based and project-oriented teaching. The research employed an experimental, performative, and practice-based methodological approach. 

A transdisciplinary team, representing all nine departments of the art school (Fashion Design, Product Design, Textile and Material Design, Visual Communication, Painting, Sculpture, Stage and Costume Design, Theory and History, and art + design Foundation) contributed to the project. The team members were individually active in teaching and research within their areas of expertise, as well as connected through shared projects and goals. This network fostered knowledge transfer both into and out of the departments and the broader university community, and was further expanded through external university collaborations. 

The project +dimensions was supported by the Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre. 

Project Team: Juana Awad, Volo Bevza, Elaine Bonavia, Paulina Grebenstein, Madeleine Madej, Julian Netzer, Stefanie Rau, Lara Roßwag, Robin Rutenberg, Henrike Uthe, and Prof. Thomas Ness (project lead)
