During the last ten years, our Institute for Postindustrial Design HyperWerk
has learned to adapt to the ongoing societal change in Switzerland. The
search for creative responses to the postindustrial entrepreneurial reality
has become our main focus.

A main goal is the empowerment of our students to successfully establish


themselves in the business reality. For this, we will examine the transitional
zone of leaving the sheltered way of working and learning in our institute,
gradually progressing towards the work relationships with our industrial
partners. We think that this transition after the academic studies should not
be run through as fast as possible, but that its unique mix of industrial and
academic qualities and resources permits insights into the next generation
of the open workplace.

During the next year, we plan to design a swarm based networking


structure for entrepreneurial activities in the creative industries. We hope to
achieve this through the development of advanced tools, means and rules
for flexible collaboration within our interdisciplinary creative teams of
students, alumni and industrial partners.

Each of our diploma projects needs to find and approach its own external
partners. An expanding modular media toolkit is being produced over the
whole year. In the long run, we plan to extend this set to offer our former
students useful communication tools to establish their own company
structures within the open swarm of their creative communities.

How can an academic institute support its present and former students
through the sustainable use of their repetitive experience? Our contribution
will consist in the development of a documentation platform, so a culture of
documentation and sharing takes hold. All of our tools and knowledge on
how to collaborate in flexible creative teams will be made accessible to the
public.

We hope to gain further partners during Coins’10 and to report back on the
results obtained during our first year at Coins’11.
