Students of the Transmedia Art class at the University of Applied Arts Vienna intensively studied the exhibits of the multi-layered cultural epoch between 1890 and 1938 and reacted to objects of the Arts and Crafts movement, the Wiener Werkstätte or interiors by Adolf Loos and Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky. Their ideas and critical approaches inspired by the collection find expression in ceramics, drawings, textile works, musical pieces and installations.
