Johannes Voelchert  Pressure-Made, Johannes Voelchert Johannes Voelchert will present Pressure-Made, a manufacturing concept that makes use of an adapted pneumatic hot spray system to create tailor-made footwear directly onto the customer’s feet. The shoes, which are 100% TPE-U can then be washed and melted down once the wearer no longer wants them, and turned into a new pair. Leopold Zaumseil's Solid Currents explores how humanity has been frightened but also fascinated by the destructive forces and beauty of lightning 'to use it as the generative source of my work. I materialise this energy in cooperation with nature, consequently locking the sudden discharge patterns into a solid state. I have fused nature’s handwriting with my conductive structures — illustrating the interplay of nature and technology, organic and rational forms. This new process makes it possible to further investigate nature’s own way of sculpting.' Johanna Stella Rogalla's project concerns the phenomenon of widows’ clothing which can be found in greatly diverse cultures and geographically far distant places. Somehow this global parallelism is both fascinating and irritating. A woman had to and sometimes still has to show that her husband has died by wearing specific clothes. 'In my work I refer to the “black widows” of the Victorian age in Europe and North America, the “white widows” who live in the Indian city of Vrindavan and the “blue widows” who once lived as Bedouins in the Negev desert.' Metastable by Andreas Wagner is a collection of objects made from mixed materials including rubber, sand and acrylic that disintegrate into their constituent parts over time. ‘It questions the conventional division into stable and unstable structures and shows the potential of dealing with this dichotomy,’ writes Wagner.

Students from the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle’s industrial design, textiles and interior architecture courses present their latest projects at Venture Future 2019 during Milan Design Week under the theme Visionary Thinking and Design.
Eight students in total are taking part in the show: Mathis Hosemann, Robert Hahn, Andreas Wagner, Johannes Voelchert, Ina Turinsky, Katerina Kagioglidis, Johanna Stella Rogalla and Leopold Zaumseil.
Mathis Hosemann (industrial design) will show Blind Faith, an installation that ponders the concept of an ethical machine. To explore this idea, Hosemann programmed an algorithm that generates artificial religions based on existing religious teachings and attitudes towards machinery. Prayers for these new religions are then generated and printed on site.
Robert Hahn will show his ceramics project This Is Not A Vase, which eschews accuracy and efficiency in the construction method. Using a self-made piston extruder, Hahn makes vessels that purposefully contain errors.
