HUMAN BY MACHINE
How can the digital
revolution of our times be used for human beings as best as possible and how can we cope with predictable misdevelopments?
HUMAN BY MACHINE presents various design projects by students and alumni of the University of Applied Arts Vienna, which were
created in exchange with students and teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Bratislava.
Interdisciplinary

changing role of designers; transdisciplinary correlations, copyright versus open design; Social Design and materials; consumer
oriented perception of design; digital revolution as cyberwar, Industry 4.0, robotics; interface between man and machine (private
life). Topics as the development of new design strategies for dissemination; design and new materials and technologies as
