Interactive Science Lab at CIDS (2023-2025)
From 2023 to 2025, the Office for Academic Heritage, Scientific and Art Collections was a partner in the Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Sciences(CIDS) . The CIDS is a crystallization point with interfaces across all subject areas in all areas. With the CIDS, TU Dresden addresses - through the integration of 7 departments and associated topic clusters into a center for digital sciences with more than 500 employees - the interdisciplinary processing of scientific issues in the spectrum of topics of digitization, high-performance computing, data, modelling and simulation, artificial intelligence, knowledge extraction and transfer and numerous other digitization topics.
The Office for Academic Heritage Scientific and Art Collections was directly involved in the Interactive Science Lab (ISL), an interdisciplinary team at CIDS, which organized the interactive pilot exhibition "//DataSpaces. Experience Science" in the foyer of the Faculty of Computer Science (Andreas-Pfitzmann-Bau). The show combined prototypes and demonstrators of current research from the Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Sciences (CIDS) with historical objects from the university collections. It pursued an interactive and dialog-oriented approach and focused on exhibits that met certain criteria:
- Interactive dialog-oriented: Activating action-oriented applications and modules
- Modular: continuous adaptation to current research
- Individual: use of different levels of information
- Participative: from visitor to user to co-designer (visitor - user - designer)
- Multimodal immersive: Appealing to all senses by using a wide variety of media with a high quality of stay through the use of modern technologies
With the pilot exhibition , the ISL team evaluated whether the project's concept and mediation ideas worked. A further stage with a smaller and partly newly compiled version of the exhibition, which is intended to enrich the newly created Lehmann Center in the future, was subsequently on display in the SLUB Makerspace.
