The Information Department at the Ulm School of Design

The Information Department at the Ulm School of Design

OSWALD, David

Full Article:

Ulm is known for its educational model, particularly for product design and visual communication. Yet the school’s smallest department — Information — has hardly been discussed. It can be considered a leftover of an initially planned political school. However, it represents the will to integrate all aspects of modern life into one school. Bill tried to push the department into advertisement, but it was Bense who directed it towards information theory.
