To mark the 20th anniversary of Lakeside Park, a poster exhibition featuring projects from the Educational Innovation Lab (EIL4MINT) is currently on display at the Educational Lab. In addition, large-format banners are on display in the outdoor area of Lakeside Park, showcasing the interdisciplinary school project «Geoinformatics in the Classroom.»
In 2023, students in the multilingual 4C Julius Kugy class at the BG/BRG for Slovenes, under the guidance of Mag. Aloisia Gomez Segovia, took an in-depth look at Klagenfurt’s Lendhafen—from geographical, biological, physical, historical, artistic, and linguistic perspectives. As part of numerous workshops and field trips, the students collaborated with, among others, Kunstraum Lakeside, Klagenfurt City Planning, Architektur Haus Kärnten, the Carinthian Institute for Lake Research, and the E.C.O. Institute for Ecology.
Kunstraum Lakeside played a central role as a collaborating partner; as the artistic partner, it organized the subproject The World of the Visible – Physics Meets Photography in collaboration with photographer Johannes Puch. The subproject was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education as part of the OeAD program culture connected. In April 2023, as part of this initiative, the students explored physical phenomena such as reflections and refraction while taking photographs with pinhole cameras and smartphones along the Lend Canal. The resulting images were then digitally edited and prepared for printing in May at the art studio. In the process, the students also explored the creative and technical aspects of professional image production.
The ceremonial conclusion of the «Geoinformatics in School Education» project took place in June 2023 at Lendhafen. There, the results were presented to the public for the first time on large-format banners. These were supplemented by digital visualizations created using GIS technologies and augmented reality. QR codes on the tarps provide access to additional multimedia material, such as audio recordings and interactive content, which was developed by the students themselves.
The exhibition featuring the highlights of this comprehensive project will be on display in the outdoor area of Lakeside Park through mid-August 2025. The large-format banners illustrate the project phases and show how different disciplines were brought together in a creative and interdisciplinary learning process.
