Abschlußdokumentation | Final Report

Throughout its six-year life span, the Cluster Image Knowledge Gestaltung provided a vital framework for high-level interdisciplinary research. The extraordinary mutual trust between researchers and designers from very diverse disciplines achieved an intensity that has fundamentally changed all those involved in the project. The Cluster succeeded in establishing cross-departmental and even cross-cultural trust. This resulted in the redefinition of the active status of images and the implementation of a turn to Gestaltung in research. The Cluster has demonstrated that freedom in academia can inspire immense dynamic productivity. More than 600 researchers and students who have been involved in the Cluster are passing on the skills and the spirit of fruitful interdisciplinary collaboration all over the world.
