[https://www.hidden-networks.net/ "Hidden Networks"] is a collaborative project in the first semester of the Master's program. Divided into four groups, the students are tasked with designing mobile digital stations, employing [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi Raspberry Pis] as the primary device for the project. Each of the four projects focus on themes of cohabitation and ecology within an urban context. The stations are located at various public venues throughout the inner city of Mainz. Participants could come to the hotspot station and connect their phones to the Wi-Fi network to explore the different projects. These encompassed games, motion tracking, and informative websites, showcasing a diverse range of coding, illustration, and design techniques. The stations were opened from April 25th to May 10th 2024.

=== A LOT - Platz für Begegnung und Natur ===
This station focuses on the use and design of urban spaces. It invites visitors to consider how city areas are utilized and what alternative uses could be explored. In the interactive game "A Lot," parking spaces can be transformed into vibrant community spaces for relaxation, meeting friends, observing insects, or repairing bicycles.

=== MATTERS IN MOTION – Exploring Urban Collectives ===
What moves through urban space? From cars to drones, from dogs to bats and insects, from storms to sunlight. All of these penetrate and alter the space. The impact of this urban collective is rarely acknowledged.

"Matters in Motion" provides a playful approach to questioning urban space design. It explores how we move through the city, what we experience, what we might overlook, and how we can improve urban design. The project poses these and other questions, making the self-efficacy of individuals visible through their movement in an interactive manner.
