Dalia Spichtig – Breaking the Narrative

Breaking the Narrative is an interactive educational web documentary exploring manosphere narratives. Structured in three parts, it examines the three media formats most used by these communities: video, text, and audio, to analyze their communication and dissemination strategies. Through playful interactions, the project raises awareness of the persuasive mechanisms used by the manosphere while exposing the systemic and ideological realities these narratives often conceal. Aimed primarily at young boys, as well as parents, guardians, and educators, Breaking the Narrative provides tools for understanding, critical analysis, and education around these contemporary issues.

Portfol.io

with David Liebermann, Maximilian Kiepe, Jana Reddemann

Hello World! Goodbye predictable, standardized and interchangeable web. Students questioned the conventions of the digital World, explored the Wide possibilities of the medium, and even invented new approaches to interact with the Web. And what better way to give web design meaning than through the students own portfolios, understood as expressions of attitude and personality. https://websites.ecal-mid.ch/

Ethical, Accessible and Mindful Design

with Irene Pereyra

Ethical, Accessible & Mindful Design is a one-week module that trains students to examine the ethical dimensions of design decisions. Through practice, students learn to design experiences that are inclusive, transparent, and considerate of their broader social impact. This semester, the module took low-vision accessibility as its central design constraint. Working under the brief Goodbye to All …, students were asked to guide a user through a permanent, irreversible, and non-negotiable farewell. Beyond WCAG compliance, the exercise required sustained attention to contrast across all interface states, legible typography, keyboard-only navigation, focus visibility, and layout integrity at both 100% and 300% zoom, without loss of hierarchy or readability.

Gabriel Polgar – Tenir la rue, imprimer la rue

by Gabriel Polgar

In a context marked by the erosion of social rights and the resurgence of far-right discourse, demonstrations are spaces where voices come together and grow stronger. From these gatherings emerges a rare collective energy: words are set free, solidarity is reinforced, and a shared momentum takes hold. Yet this force often fades and disappears far too quickly. Through a web-based design tool grounded in randomness, Tenir la rue, imprimer la rue aims to capture and extend these moments into everyday life. Using collectively gathered and contributed content, this project allows anyone to compose and print their own poster in the street.

Enshittification - 2026

with Tibor Udvari

Many platforms degrade over time, shifting from useful tools into manipulative systems. In this workshop, we explore enshittification as a creative method by modifying existing websites or developing small web experiments that exaggerate friction, automation, overload, and disorientation in order to reveal the underlying logics.
