Sneak Peek "Fahrradies"

Students from Wismar University of Applied Sciences (Communication Design and Media programme) explored creative ideas for the future expansion of the “Fahrradies” exhibition area within the thematic section “EARTH” at phanTECHNIKUM during the summer semester of 2025. As part of a project seminar, they developed infographics, comics and illustrations centred on the bicycle – ranging from technical drawings and clear explanatory graphics to illustrations of sporting peak performances. The works address topics such as mobility, environmental protection and cycling sport, while also presenting surprising stories and perspectives from the world of cycling.

The resulting concepts are intended as creative proposals for a possible narrative strand within the future exhibition. Through illustrative techniques and clearly designed information graphics, they make complex topics easy to understand and invite visitors to explore cycling mobility from new perspectives. How will we move around cities and rural areas in the future? What role might the bicycle play in this context? What advantages does this sustainable, climate-friendly and invigorating form of mobility offer? And what challenges remain? The ideas also allow space for utopian visions related to bicycles and cycling, helping to promote the renaissance of the two-wheeler.

Until the next section of the “Fahrradies” exhibition is realised in 2026/2027, this small sneak peek can be seen at phanTECHNIKUM. The presentation honours the work of the students while also offering visitors a first glimpse into the ideas and creative approaches behind the upcoming exhibition.
