They no longer perceive one side of their body and their surroundings correctly without realising it: patients with neglect syndrome, a neurological disorder of attention. The developed app supports therapeutic treatment.

Who will we be? The QUIXOTIC. collection examines the future self-image of mankind and provides an exaggerated and idealistic view of the future. The interactive work plays with in-between spaces and the co-design of the individual.

For the first time, EMMA - Kreativzentrum Pforzheim, Café Roland, Pforzheim University of Applied Sciences and the KiTa am Emma-Jaeger-Bad invited guests to the neighbourhood festival on the River Enz.
The varied programme, which ranged from a joint planting campaign with the KiTa to exhibitions, workshops and lectures to a fashion show, showed who lives and works in the neighbourhood and what happens there on a daily basis.
Over 2000 visitors took advantage of the day to get to know EMMA, Café Roland and the Alfons Kern Tower and spend a relaxed day in a great atmosphere.

Where is the sacred located in our world today and what do we believe in? These central questions were addressed in the first joint exhibition by students from the 3rd, 4th and 6th semesters of Visual Communication in the specialisation 'Communication in Space' at Pforzheim University. In 16 installations, the students thematised the profane and the sacred, the secular and the holy and rehearsed the Axis Mundis of design. The university's second monothematic exhibition in the tower opened on Thursday, 8 February 2018 at 7 pm.
The exhibition was created in co-operation with the Protestant, Islamic and Jewish communities in Pforzheim.

Fear of the future, fear of change, fear of a reduction in pensions, fear of the loss of social benefits, fear of losing property, fear of a lack of security: these diverse fears are one of the reasons why populists are increasingly able to make themselves heard and achieve great success.
With the exhibition "Wa(h)re Angst", EMMA - Kreativzentrum Pforzheim, the artist Janusz Czech and the philosophical business magazine "agora42" provided impulses for discussion: Which topics really scare people? Is there a "true fear" that lies behind all fears? Is fear a business, is it traded as a "commodity"? Who benefits from fear? How do political parties use fears in society to gain votes?
International artists addressed these questions in their works. To accompany the exhibition, the magazine agora42 created the issue "Wa(h)re Angst", which deals with the philosophical and economic aspects of fear.
