... that is the core of the see-Conference in Wiesbaden, one of Germany's largest design conferences with over 800 participants. Since 2006, the see-Conference has been dedicated to visualizing data and information, increasingly in the context of sustainable concepts, because only good presentation makes societal truths visible amidst the flood of information. The see-Conference brings together what belongs together: design, art, and architecture, of course – but also creatives from business and journalism, sociology, philosophy, and technology. People who want to shape a better future. The interdisciplinary curation of the see-Conference opens up new perspectives that make the impact of our actions on future generations visible – so that we finally take action. Learning from the best and implementing immediately – that also shapes the structure of the two-day conference: Saturday "food for thought" at its finest, Sunday "hands on". Among the speakers at the 16th see-Conference are:

Neville Brody takes us to the punk era of the 1970s, which significantly shaped the British designer. His record covers provoked – and broke with the classic idea of typography and design. Brody's work "The Graphic Language" is the graphic design bible par excellence, his typography magazine "FUSE" a milestone in design history. 

The successful British duo certainly has their seventh nomination for Best Production Design in the bag, just as they did for "Sherlock Holmes" and "Anna Karenina". Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer could spontaneously relate far more to the classics than to "Barbie" – until director Greta Gerwig convinced them of her feminist masterpiece. Sarah and Katie will take us into Barbie's world at the see-Conference: From the first sketch to the completion of the film set, from a hundred different shades of pink and the fun of playing with scale in Barbieland. 

"Waste is a human-made concept," says Bonnie Hvillum. Ceramics from kitchen waste, clothing from bricks – for the visionary interaction designer, there is no such thing as waste: "Nature doesn't have any waste, and so shouldn't we." Through seemingly playful engagement with sawdust or coal, the Dane creates serious textures. Whether artistic installations for the Design Museum Denmark or experimental design for adidas – Bonnie Hvillum creates sustainable solutions for a world that can no longer afford waste.

M/M is an art and design partnership consisting of Mathias Augustyniak and Michael Amzalag, founded in Paris in 1992. M/M are best known for their artistic direction and collaborations with music greats like Björk and Madonna, brands and fashion designers like Balenciaga and Stella McCartney, magazines like Vogue, and contemporary artists. Exhibitions of their work have taken place at institutions including the Palais de Tokyo Paris, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and the Kunstverein Frankfurt.

The see-Conference is supported by the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain, the Hessian Ministry of Economics, Energy, Transport, Housing and Rural Areas, the State Capital Wiesbaden/Department for Business and Employment, and Scholz & Volkmer.
