The Design Research Lab is a laboratory for experimental design and research reflecting on the digital society. Through playful interventions, critical making and collaborative reasoning we investigate possible futures. As a platform and network, we are deeply involved with the requirements and policies needed for an inclusive and sustainable development of the digital society from a design perspective.
We are an interdisciplinary team of designers, researchers, tech-enthusiasts and critical thinkers from Berlin University of the Arts, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society, as well as Einsteincenter Digital Future (ECDF).
“Dear Town Square« installation in Brandis” is a subproject of Mit-Mach-Stadt Brandis.
Within the project »Mit-Mach-Brandis« we have developed an installation for a street festival in Brandis. Provided interfaces for the discussion about the future development of the market square were the advertising column, the Hybrid Letterbox and a public projection. The citizen participation was overwhelming and we have received really detailed suggestion what to do with the square.
