2025/26 SS Interference is an experimental web-based image field that explores how information interference distorts perception. Photographs from Bolzano, combined with text fragments and noise, are layered, repeated, and blended until clear signals break down into a dense, flickering space between recognition and incomprehension.
The work was conceived and generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence, using HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript with a custom engine for multi-level zoom, drifting tiles, and blend-mode transitions. It invites visitors to zoom, drag, and click through a fragile structure of images, videos, and essays, asking whether adding more information truly leads to more understanding, or simply more interference.

A project made in the course
The Window Is the Point
The course examines the "window" as a conceptual model of visual communication—as a metaphor, a device of perception, and a structural principle for layout, grids, typography, white space, and interactive elements. Students analyze historical and contemporary examples from art and design history to digital interfaces and use them as a basis for developing their own experimental design projects. The aim is to create projects that intentionally shape attention, visibility, and meaning in print and digital formats, staging them spatially.
