Welcome to the Ocean Flora Cloud Wiki, created by Master Communication Design students at University of Applied Sciences Mainz. This wiki page works as a digital garden, collecting and documenting research and projects, and serving as a collaborative space where knowledge is connected and shared.

The Master-Program

"Ocean Flora Cloud" is a master’s program at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz, running from 2023 to 2025. This program focuses on the study of oceans, plant life, and biodiversity. By collaborating with international designers, the program aims to develop new perspectives on our environment, exploring the interplay between technology and culture.

The goal of "Ocean Flora Cloud" is to open up innovative tools and design systems with a special emphasis on illustration, animation, and coding. Through experimental and conceptual approaches, the program seeks to address how research findings can be effectively published today and in the future. Additionally, it aims to explore practical implementations of theoretical concepts.

This interdisciplinary course provides a platform for students to engage with cutting-edge ideas and technologies, fostering a creative and collaborative environment that bridges the gap between scientific research and artistic expression.
