Lisa Borgenheimer has been Professor of Information Design at the HfG Offenbach since the winter semester of 2020. She studied Communication Design (BA) and Interactive Media (MA) at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences and completed her PhD at the Bauhaus University Weimar with a thesis entitled ‘Informing Information’ (not yet published).

As the German representative, Borgenheimer served on the Theme Advisory Group (TAG) and the Design Contest Jury (DCJ) of the European Central Bank (ECB) for the design of the new euro banknotes.

Her research and teaching focus on the methodology of information design and its transformation through new technologies. AI-supported systems, robotics, interaction and immersion are shifting the field towards experiential information: information is no longer merely viewed, but entered into, questioned, simulated and placed in relation to one’s own lived world.

This paradigm shift in information design lies at the heart of her work. Interactive and immersive technologies open up new forms of communication in which content becomes dialogical, situational, body-oriented and spatial. Information is not merely displayed, but directly experienced.

In her doctoral thesis, ‘Informing Information’, Borgenheimer developed an ontology of information design that interrelates the theoretical foundations, methodological models and practical fields of application within the discipline. This work forms the basis for her research into immersive
