    • Annotation of the Higher Education Institution Today, we are surrounded by an immense amount of defined objects, tools, products and information that together form a global network of meaningful relationships. This network shapes and represents our cultural, social and technological relationships – our reality. Access to this reality is characterised by "use" and "making" (work, production, action). As designers, we develop new approaches to this multifaceted reality, we test new possibilities and develop stories that can go far beyond things themselves. This helps us to determine the way we act, how we experience, actively influence, change and perhaps improve the world. We are interested in the bridges between the material world and the digital space.
