To See Or Not To See

a puzzle game on images, imaginations and the (in)visible
exhibition / presentation

[frankfurter …] Bild – Medien – Raum – Transfer ([frankurt's…] image – media – space- transfer) is an exhibition of Goethe University's Institute for Art Education at forum wissenschaft+kunst (forum science + art), the Ministry for Science and Art's show room in Wiesbaden.
Students of all departments (Painting, Drawing, Sculpture and New Media) show selected works.

The department of Visual Culture presents a dynamic ('interactive') screen piece introducing our work in the form of a puzzle game based on focus issues of our winter term's courses. All puzzles dealt with questions of perception / deception, visibilty / invisibility etc. Each puzzle started with a small image square, leading step by step first into wrong turns and then to the solution, the latter coming with further readings, links to related issues etc.

A highlight was a image vs. words memory test developed by one of our students of the interdisciplinary course "Brain Matters", Sonja Krüger, who was so kind to allow the integration of her work into the game. Great many thanks, Sonja!
