GO ON MY NERVES!

But why? Why does it say ‘go on my nerves’? Yes I know.. Normally it is associated with something negative. But in this case I promise it’s positive. We need to touch, touch, touch! Our skin is the largest organ we have in which there are so many nerve endings and fibers. We need to stimulate our nerves! With gentle touch or a gentle stroke, or a hug.. we can stimulate these C-Tactile Fibers and happy hormones will be released. We feel good! That’s why ‘ GO ON MY NERVES’.

This Issue is about the necessity of gentle touch and why it is so important for our health and psyche. Neuroscience Researcher Dr. Rochelle Ackerley gives us an insight in her work and explains why gentle touch is important for us. Especially in times of a pandemic we are in conflict with touching and keeping distance from our loved ones.

Nicola Kosovic a photographer from New Zealand shows us her incredible work and tells us what she sees in her photos.

And also other interviews for example with the Singer/Songwriter Kami Leonne from California and the Designer Anastasia Electra Eulenstein are within this Issue.

THINK. GO ON MY NERVES got awarded by Deutscher Fotobuchpreis 2021/22 (German Photo book award) with silver and will be exhibited national and international.

Lookbook – “Fragility 2020”

Research about Image History to Photography to Collages. In which time were collages born? Did it has something to do with the Crisis back then? To be different than others, breaking the rules? This Lookbook was created in the Covid-19 Crisis. We are fragile. Must handle with care. Seeking for better days. Reflecting our thoughts, emotions and the current situation. Looking back and forth. Interpretations are open.

Corona Ambitions Lookbook

A project with Students of the University of Pécs in Hungary.

This project is a part of the international research project, called ‘TOGETHER – Communication and Design for Intercultural Understanding’. It was created in a workshop at the University of Design (HFK+G in Stuttgart) in cooperation with the University in Pecs, Hungary.

We had an intercultural and international exchange about our experiences and goals in the Pandemic with the students from Hungary. We summarized every outcome in a Lookbook. For example: How we feel, what we miss and what we value. We came up with similar results. However, at that time the Corona restrictions in Hungary were very strict. Very exciting project.

The outcome of every ‘TOGETHER’ workshops can be experienced in a digital, interactive and hybrid exhibition.

THINK. Magazine

Deryyy — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 08:13:49 +0000

This Magazine was created by feeling isolated, lost and lonely. The beginning of a pandemic, social distancing and a curfew. So many things on my mind like how are others feeling during this time? So many things happened. I wanted to exchange with people about the things. This issue is about the Pandemic, Racism and Artwork.

Lookbook – “The little things”

Addressing the climate. What can every person do for the climate? It’s the little things that you can do that have a big impact on the development of the climate. My fellow students and I have done research on this and have implemented or illustrated these small things in design and summarized them in a lookbook.
