DATAGROUP goes Art

It’s been shown that art awakens the creativity of people and gives them strength. That is why our employees are given the opportunity toi meet art in their daily work and exchange ideas about it. At various locations, such as Böblingen or Pliezhausen, we have put up works by the artist couple Christa and Conny Winter. Each work of art is equipped with a QR-code that offers further information about the work. Other locations will follow.

The Reflektorium crates a space to develop a text in a self-logical way. A Reflektorioum is a professional impact mirror. The work integrates collage-like a light ceiling from the canteen of the editrial “Der Spiegel”. Thereby, the reflection also “reflects” in the figurative sense.

The shape of a Guineafowl Puffer integrates as a natural form element into the abstract constructivist compositions. If these fish feel threatened, they inflate within seconds into a large ball. They also do that in the mouth of predators, which then let them go.
