IDENTITÄT Generated Design
Driven by communities like Flickr, Facebook
and MySpace, an artificial world of virtual
identities has emerged. ~IDENTITÄT makes this
world visible in three-dimensional form. Web-
crawler programs search the web and accu-
mulate personal data of digital identities. The
interpretation of this data gives each identity its
unique form, fixed in a generated sculpture.

Thirteen years ago, whilst sitting on my sofa
during my student days in Bremen, I came
up with an idea for a diploma project. In the
meantime, this idea has turned out to be a real
success story. Today, :output is considered to
be the most important global platform avail
able for presenting those works developed at
universities pertaining to the fields of design
and architecture. Each year, more than 1,000
students located in over 40 different countries
submit their works in order to participate in
the :output competition, and each year a jury
chooses the best works for publication in the
:output yearbook.
However, since 1998, not only has :output been
subject to continuous development, but also
the media landscape has experienced dramatic
changes. Thirteen years ago hardly any univer
sity had an internet page that showed the actual
works of its students – not even to mention stu
dents with their own portfolio webpages. There
was no such thing as design blogs, and no social
media for the exchange of ideas. In 1998, it took
almost an eternity to download a reasonably
large image.
It was precisely due to this that we decided to
develop :output in a book form. Thirteen years
ago, it was absolutely impossible to find out
what was happening at universities – unless of
course one made the effort and actually visited
them physically.
Today, things are quite different, and works,
also those developed at universities, are pub
lished more and more on the web. Furthermore,
the internet offers far greater potential for the
exchange ideas.
It was against this background that we
developed the online platform openoutput two
years ago with the aim of enabling students to
create their own online portfolios free of charge.
In the meantime, more than 4,300 projects from
different universities throughout the world can
be found on this platform.
Now we have decided that the time is ripe to
reconceive the :output yearbook, and to esta
blish a stronger connection between the print
version showing the results of the competition
and the online platform.
The book has become smaller and, conse
quently, significantly less expensive. It is thus
hoped that it will be even more attractive,
especially for students.
The real advantage is, however, to be found
in the presentation of the works: One or two
photos accompany each work, together with
a brief project description. Each project has a
five digit numeric code that is used to provide
a quick link to the online platform and a direct
connection to the corresponding work. Here
more comprehensive background information
is available than used to be possible with the
yearbook and, in addition, it is presented in a
multimedia form. More images, texts, videos,
links and downloads can be viewed here,
depending on what the individual author has
uploaded onto the platform.
We are still of the opinion that :output in a
book form is justified and, furthermore, fulfils an
important function – in particular as recognition
of the works of those students chosen by the
jury. It also plays an important role as an archive.
After all, paper is still the most lasting means of
storing data.
Moreover, the link between the book and the
online platform enables us to make the works
available on an even greater scale, and thus
overall provide a better and more comprehen
sive presentation of the individual works.

Bar Mleczny, translated milk bar, is a typical
canteen, very common during communism in
Poland. Many people of different social classes
can be found in the dining room. People sit
them selves at tables where other persons
unknown to one another are already sitting
and eating.

Kadoki is a play system for children to build
creative structures. The unique connectors
enable a child to create diversified structures
with simple dowels or even branches which can
be constructed to form frames. Almost any type
of fabric can be utilized to then cover the frames
giving the children the ability to design the own
private spaces, caves or tents.

lived for several generations under a technically
controllable canopy on another planet. Would
we find a second home there? Would we not lose
a certain part of our identity, if we left earth?

PROFESSOR Burkhard Schmitz / Jana Patz
SCHOOL University of Arts Berlin

In the installation „for those who see“ pressure
is created by a loudspeaker located in a rectan
gular box. This pressure creates smoke vortexes
in the air. Upon formation, the vortex rings
move linearly through the air and after a short
while slowly turn into smoke and their strength
de creases.
