In the impressively designed publication, the Muthesius professors Tom Duscher (Interactive Media), Manfred Schulz (spatial strategies, exhibitions) and Stephan Sachs (film) have documented joint communicative projects and research in the Cluster of Excellence "The Future Ocean" from the past ten years. "The age of information also demands excellence in communication," according to Tom Duscher. The editors and authors take the reader and observer onto trip through time from the beginnings of the cooperation until today, talk about large exhibition projects in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich und Kiel, the development of new artistic research institutions and provide insight into innovative and exciting visualizations. The contributions highlight the effect of newly developed ground breaking formats of science communication from an artistic as well as natural science perspective.
In the year 2006, it was still a coup within the science community: The Cluster of Excellence "The Future Ocean", a predominantly scientific research association, celebrated the success of the first proposal within the framework of the nation-wide Excellence Initiative together with the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design, as one of four partners in total – among them Kiel University (CAU), the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and the Institute for the World Economy (IfW). The then still new collaboration with the Cluster of Excellence "The Future Ocean" between marine researchers and communication designers, scenographers, as well as film artists of the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design has made an impact within the past years – in many highly respected exhibitions, new visual communication forms and artistic films. Today, more than ten years later, the collaboration between art, design and science has secured itself a permanent place within science communication.
An interactive science poster, newly developed for visual communication has received several awards, a permanent exhibition can be seen in the Zoological Museum in Kiel and in the Maritime Museum Hamburg on deck 7.
