Workshop, Manual and Compendium

The second in a series of publications documenting the work coming out of the Space for Visual Research workshop at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, this volume logs recent visual experiments conducted at the laboratory using physics, chemistry, optics and reproduction technologies.

The log of visual experimentation is accompanied by technical explanations that offer the possibility of customized reproductions of each visual experiment presented. 

Commissioned interviews and essays as well as a select bibliography render Space for Visual Research 2 a useful reference tool for visual research today.

The Space for Visual Research was established at the Bauhaus University in Weimar in 2013 as a workshop and laboratory for experimental research into new graphic, abstract, and visual worlds. The Space’s mission is to support the exploratory urge for new aesthetics, in particular by empowering design students to create their own individual imagery.
