VERTIGO

For their “Vertigo” project, design students at FH JOANNEUM intensively explored this year’s festival theme: intoxication. The resulting works transform the nave of Graz’s Antoniuskirche into an immersive media experience that presents different artistic interpretations, ranging from the intoxication of love to loss of control, from the struggle between nature and machines, to threatening currents. Light and sound are not only used as creative tools in these works, but are also employed specifically by students from the Media, Sound, and Interaction Design departments to create multi-layered narratives. The project was supervised by Astrid Drechsler, Daniel Fabry, Michael Kernbichler, Didi Mosbacher, and Roman Pürcher.

Master’s degree students at the Institute of Design & Communication at FH JOANNEUM can specialize in various areas, including communication, media, sound, and interaction design. Light and sound also play a key role in these courses as means of working and expression, which has led to several years of cooperation with KLANGLICHT. In 2024, design students will not only be participating in the festival with their “Vertigo” project—sound designers will also be producing the KLANGLICHT audio guide, which provides information about the individual projects on site.
