Date: 2023.05.10
Several MOME intermedia and art theory projects were among the winners of the Art and Art Theory Section of the National Scientific Students' Associations Conference.

The Art and Art Theory Section of the National Scientific Students' Associations Conference took place between 13 and 15 2023 at the ELTE Institute of Arts Communication and Music. The six MOME contenders were MA students Zsófia Kérdy, Éva Szabó and Petra Andrea Pilbák from the Graphic Design programme, Sándor Őze from the Design Theory programme, Virág Tajti from the Media Design programme, and Anna Tőkés from the Animation programme.  
 
Post Tai chi, garden without a gardener by Zsófia Kérdi was awarded first prize of the Intermedia section. Created with Mrs. Pintér née Beáta Sosity and Antal Lakner acting as supervisors, the speculative design project explores the impact of overpopulation and climate change on the mental health of people in the Anthropocene age, and the therapeutic effects of garden on mental health. Its goal was to develop an exercise routine that can help experience the beneficial effects of garden activities event without access to a garden. Post Tai chi is a tai chi kata that requires no natural setting or a garden, only reliance on muscle memory from previous gardening works. The exercises were showcased by the film included in the project. 
 
Virág Tajti’s project Exercise book was also featured in the Intermedia section, earning her third place. 
 
Postmodern object design in Hungary in the context of mass industry transformation by Sándor Őze won second place, and Anna Tőkés’s The potential effect of sports films on the perception and working of the particular sport the jury’s special prize.  
 
Congratulations to all students and the teachers helping them with the preparations!

What place do folklore, climate protection, or isolation have on the runway? What does fashion and fashion design mean to Gen Z? How are the centres and peripheries of the fashion industry shifting in the 21st century? These are just some of the questions explored at this year’s MOME Fashion Show through collections reflecting the latest design thinking and a series of special accompanying events.

Two dedicated members of the faculty have been presented with this year’s Aurum Futuri (Gold of the Future) Award: art historian, curator, and lecturer Kinga German PhD, and design culture researcher and aesthetic theorist Ákos Schneider PhD. Both are professionals who believe in the transformative power of design and education, and whose impact reaches well beyond MOME itself. Now in its third year, the Aurum Futuri Award recognises MOME’s most outstanding educators and researchers, highlighting the value they create through mentoring, educational renewal, and research.

Hogyan támogathatja egy tér a közösségeket, hányféleképp lehet egy traumát a fotográfia segítségével képpé formálni? Miképpen vonhatunk be sérült embereket egyszerű tevékenységekbe, egy kis játékkal hogyan csökkenthetjük a kis elsősök szorongását? A válaszokat az ismét a MOME évnyitóján átadott Stefan Lengyel Kiválósági Ösztöndíj nyertesei mondják el munkáikkal: az idei válogatás egyszerre bizonyítja, hogy a design egy gondolkodásmód, amellyel esélyt teremthetünk, és amely nem nélkülözheti a kutatást és a kísérletezést sem.
