DIA·X »Life, Industry, Future«

Design Intelligence Award Exhibition 2023

Join us in celebrating the design intelligence that improves our lives in an innovative way — to lead us towards a better future. The exhibition will show the user-benefits of the various designs, the »making-of«, the key to understanding the industry, and an AI-based interaction tool to explore future capacities and opportunities. The exhibition will showcase a selection of outstanding works by honorees as well as the Austrian prize winners.

The Design Intelligence Award (DIA) is the first international academic award in industrial design established in 2015 by the highly respected China Academy of Art, created to celebrate innovators and entrepreneurs’ imagination and inventiveness. Design Intelligence focuses on »livelihood, industry, future«. It is also about having a clear people-centred approach, emphasizing human-machine interaction and deep learning to achieve multidimensional social and economic success through cultural and technological innovation. It is a design collaboration activity which integrates human social networks with top-level design strategies.The Exhibition will showcase a selection of outstanding works by honorees as well as the Austrian prize winners.

Ruben Asuo is one of the young talents that are serious about making others’ lives better. He is well aware of the big differences between the green Austrian football fields with their artificial grass and the rough gravel pitches in Ghana. His football shoes Gravel are suitable for the rough conditions of Ghanaian football pitches and are sustainable including cultural and technological innovation. They use local natural materials for the changeable sole and highlight the continuous use of the other parts that do now wear off so fast.

Von der hoch angesehenen China Academy of Art 2015 ins Leben gerufen, ist der Design Intelligence Award (DIA) der erste international akademische Preis für Industriedesign. Er soll den Einfallsreichtum und die Vorstellungskraft von Innovatoren und Unternehmern würdigen. Unter dem Leittitel »Leben, Industrie, Zukunft« soll zum einen die personenzentrierte Perspektive, aber auch die Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Maschine betont werden. Kollaborativ gedacht hat der DIA-Wettbewerb zum Ziel, soziale Netzwerke mit Designstrategie auf höchstem Niveau zusammenzuführen.

Die Ausstellung wird eine Auswahl an herausragenden Arbeiten honorierter Designer·innen zeigen sowie die österreichischen Preisträger·innen des Wettbewerbs.
