Date: Tue 03 December 2024, 06:00 pm - 08:00 pm
(Admission free. No pre-registration required)
Location: Hybrid Lab, TU Villa Bell Marchstr. 8, 10587 Berlin
Kontakt: Dr. Anne Kurr, Dr. Michael Fowler
This winter semester, the 48th Hybrid Talks of the Hybrid Plattform will take place on 3rd December 2024 and we cordially invite you to attend.
Our speakers' presentations will shed light on new digital monetary systems that could shape our future from a technical, artistic and scientific perspective. Over the past centuries, currencies in the form of printed banknotes have established themselves worldwide as the most commonly used means of exchange. However, since the beginning of the 21st century, these currency systems have been challenged by new economic systems. With the anonymous invention of Bitcoin and the use of blockchain technologies in 2009, we have seen a rapid rise in decentralized, purely digital monetary systems. Such systems also enable the exchange and creation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the art world. At our event, scientists Stefan Tai and Wolfgang Härdle and artist Gaby Schulze will give us insights into the implications of these new digital money systems.
Contributions from:
The Hybrid Talks invite to mutual inspiration and networking. Representatives of different disciplines of the Campus Charlottenburg meet and illuminate the topic "New Economic Systems" from their perspective in short presentations of 10 minutes each. Afterwards, they will discuss mutual insights, irritations and possible synergies. The exchange across the boundaries of individual disciplines will continue in a relaxed atmosphere afterwards.
We look forward to seeing you there!

The Hybrid Plattform is a joint project platform of the Berlin University of the Arts and the Technische Universität Berlin. In the pilot project, artists, scientists and experts work together across the boundaries of the individual disciplines and universities on promising topics and issues. This results in unique projects, new networks, additional platforms and innovative approaches in teaching and research.
The Hybrid Plattform is an organizational adapter between universities and other cooperation partners. As an academic incubator, it opens up new ideas in networked research and teaching and serves as a reflexive intermediary in the coordination and moderation of transdisciplinary work. In addition, the Hybrid Platform is a communicative interface between the universities, the cultural and scientific landscape and thus contributes to the transfer to the public.
The Hybrid Plattform offers national and international networks for project partners, experts and organizations for an active exchange; as an active platform, new research fields and ideas can be presented through talks, events, retreats and symposia, as well as press communication. The Hybrid Plattform is happy to share institutional knowledge regarding cultures, organizational processes and cooperation procedures at the TU Berlin and the UdK Berlin, and it also supports the implementation of formats that promote a hybrid way of thinking in teaching and among young scientists and artists.
The Hybrid Plattform team consists of two project coordinators from the Technische Universität Berlin and the Berlin University of the Arts, who design the Hybrid Plattform program with the active support of student employees. A steering committee of representatives from both universities acts in an advisory capacity.

The Hybrid Plattform was originally created as one of five fields of action of the project “Sustainable vitalization of the creative quarter on and around Campus Charlottenburg” (NAVI BC), which ran from 2008 to 2010. The focus was on the important issue of linking science and art in order to make the Charlottenburg Campus an attractive location for research, companies and the creative sector both nationally and internationally.
In 2011, the Hybrid Plattform became an independent project based at the universities themselves, led by two project managers from the two universities: Barbara Stark (TU Berlin, Head of the Research Department) and Prof. Dr. Christoph Gengnagel (UdK Berlin, FG Constructive Design and Structural Design). The content of the Hybrid Platform was conceived by the project leaders and by researchers and lecturers from TU Berlin and UdK Berlin.
As part of a cooperation with the Social Science Research Center Berlin, an accompanying study of the Hybrid Plattform and its projects - led by social scientist Dr. Maria Oppen - was carried out in 2013/2014. The results were fed back into the projects and incorporated into the Hybrid Platform's work program.
In its first phase from April 2011 to June 2015, the platform was supported by the European Regional Development Fund as part of the “Project Future” initiative of the Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Technology and Research. When the Hybrid Lab moved into the Villa Bell in July 2016, a dedicated and neutral venue for the Hybrid Platform was created on the Charlottenburg Campus. As part of the “Germany - Land of Ideas” initiative, the Hybrid Plattform was named one of 100 projects in a nationwide competition in 2016 as an “Outstanding Landmark in the Land of Ideas”.
Since 2015/2016, the Hybrid Plattform has been funded by the participating universities. Until 2021, four project managers represented the two universities in research, teaching and administration: in addition to Barbara Stark and Prof. Dr. Christoph Gengnagel, these are Prof. Dr. Stefan Weinzierl (TU Berlin, Audio Communication Group) and Prof. Kora Kimpel (UdK Berlin, Digital Media Design Fundamentals Group).
Since 2022, the board has expanded to eight members in order to represent the diversity of disciplines at both universities and to strengthen the third mission of transfer to the public.
The Hybrid Plattform is a joint project platform of the Berlin University of the Arts and the Technische Universität Berlin. In the pilot project, artists, scientists and experts work together across the boundaries of the individual disciplines and universities on promising topics and issues. This results in unique projects, new networks, additional platforms and innovative approaches in teaching and research.

The Hybrid Plattform was originally created as one of five fields of action of the project “Sustainable vitalization of the creative quarter on and around Campus Charlottenburg” (NAVI BC), which ran from 2008 to 2010. The focus was on the important issue of linking science and art in order to make the Charlottenburg Campus an attractive location for research, companies and the creative sector both nationally and internationally.
In 2011, the Hybrid Plattform became an independent project based at the universities themselves, led by two project managers from the two universities: Barbara Stark (TU Berlin, Head of the Research Department) and Prof. Dr. Christoph Gengnagel (UdK Berlin, FG Constructive Design and Structural Design). The content of the Hybrid Platform was conceived by the project leaders and by researchers and lecturers from TU Berlin and UdK Berlin.
As part of a cooperation with the Social Science Research Center Berlin, an accompanying study of the Hybrid Plattform and its projects - led by social scientist Dr. Maria Oppen - was carried out in 2013/2014. The results were fed back into the projects and incorporated into the Hybrid Platform's work program.
In its first phase from April 2011 to June 2015, the platform was supported by the European Regional Development Fund as part of the “Project Future” initiative of the Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Technology and Research. When the Hybrid Lab moved into the Villa Bell in July 2016, a dedicated and neutral venue for the Hybrid Platform was created on the Charlottenburg Campus. As part of the “Germany - Land of Ideas” initiative, the Hybrid Plattform was named one of 100 projects in a nationwide competition in 2016 as an “Outstanding Landmark in the Land of Ideas”.
Since 2015/2016, the Hybrid Plattform has been funded by the participating universities. Until 2021, four project managers represented the two universities in research, teaching and administration: in addition to Barbara Stark and Prof. Dr. Christoph Gengnagel, these are Prof. Dr. Stefan Weinzierl (TU Berlin, Audio Communication Group) and Prof. Kora Kimpel (UdK Berlin, Digital Media Design Fundamentals Group).
Since 2022, the board has expanded to eight members in order to represent the diversity of disciplines at both universities and to strengthen the third mission of transfer to the public.
