In dem Projekt BioMeth wurde der Ansatz der Membranbegasung zur Erhöhung der Verfügbarkeit von gelöstem Wasserstoff für die biologische Methanisierung im Sinn der Etablierung eines Power-to-Gas-Konzeptes zur Energiespeicherung verfolgt. Übergeordnetes Ziel war die Entwicklung eines skalierbaren Verfahrenskonzeptes, dass sich zur Nutzung CO2-haltiger Gasvolumenström eignet. Geplant war es, das Verfahren am Beispiel der Biogasanlage der Biokäserei Monte-Ziego in Teningen zu demonstrieren und dort das bestehende Konzept der parallelen Abwasseraufbereitung und Energieerzeugung zu erweitern. Die ursprüngliche Struktur des Arbeitspaketplanes ist in nachfolgender Abbildung gezeigt.

Dort, wo Modelle der operativen Energiesystemanalyse untereinander Überschneidungen aufweisen, stellt sich zunächst die Frage, ob sie bei gleichgearteten Fragestellungen auch die gleichen Antworten liefern. Dies zu beantworten war erstes Ziel des hier beschriebenen Vorhabens. Das zweite Ziel war, im Falle von Differenzen zu ermitteln, worin diese begründet liegen. Es waren nicht nur die Modelle selbst, sondern auch das methodische Vorgehen zur Modellerstellung und Simulation in Betracht zu ziehen. Die darauf aufbauende Identifikation von individuellen Optimierungspotenzialen war das dritte Ziel. Da die operative Energiesystemanalyse noch ein recht junger Forschungsbereich ist, existiert darüber hinaus Klärungsbedarf, welches Modell sich für welche Untersuchungen besonders eignet und welches methodische Vorgehen sich empfiehlt. Die Beantwortung dieser Fragen stellte das vierte Ziel des Vorhabens dar.

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) define the state-of-the-art solution on many perceptual tasks. However, current CNN approaches largely remain vulnerable against adversarial perturbations of the input that have been crafted specifically to fool the system while being quasi-imperceptible to the human eye. In recent years, various approaches have been proposed to defend CNNs against such attacks, for example by model hardening or by adding explicit defence mechanisms. Thereby, a small “detector” is included in the network and trained on the binary classification task of distinguishing genuine data from data containing adversarial perturbations. In this work, we propose a simple and light-weight detector, which leverages recent findings on the relation between networks’ local intrinsic dimensionality (LID) and adversarial attacks. Based on a re-interpretation of the LID measure and several simple adaptations, we surpass the state-of-the-art on adversarial detection by a significant margin and reach almost perfect results in terms of F1-score for several networks and datasets.

Within the framework of a developed blended learning concept, a lot of experience has already been gained with a mixture of theoretical lectures and hands-on activities, combined with the advantages of modern digital media. Here, visualizations using videos, animations and augmented reality have proven to be effective tools to convey learning content in a sustainable way. In the next step, ideas and concepts were developed to implement hands-on laboratory experiments in a virtual environment. The main focus is on the realization of virtual experiments and environments that give the students a deep insight into selected subfields of optics and photonics.

The artistic research cycle DE\GLOBALIZE is a media ecological search movement for the terrestrial. After examining matters of fact in India (2014-18), matters of concern in Egypt (2016-2019) and matters of care in the Upper Rhine (2018-22), the focus turns toward matters of violence in the Congo (2022). From matter to mater, mother-earth, the garden to exploitation. From science, water and climate to migration, oppression and extermination. The long-term research is accessible through interactive web documentation. The platform serves as a continuous media-archaeological archive for a speculative ethnography. The relational structure of the videographic essay is enabling the forensic processing of single documents in the sense of the actor-network theory. The subject of the presentation at IFM is a field trip to the Congo planned for March 2022, which will focus on the ambivalence of violence and care in collaboration with local artists. The field trip is based on the postcolonial reflection luderitzcargo by the author from 1996, in which a freight container was transformed into a translocal cinema in Namibia. Through the journey to Congo, a group of media artists, a psychotherapist, a theater dramaturg, a filmmaker and a philosopher intend to explore the political, technological and psycho-geographic borders. By artistic interventions with locals, we want to interfere with relational string figures as part of the new Earth Politics. They are focusing on the displaced consumption of resources which are hard-fought and guarantee prosperity in the global north. The so-called ghost acreages are repressed and justified as part of a civilizational mission. With this trip, we want to confront our self-lies with the ones of our hosts. We want to confront ourselves with the foreign, the dark and the displaced ghosts within ourselves. In the presentation at the #IFM2022 Conference, the platform DE\GLOBALIZE will be problematized itself as an example of epistemic violence for the ethnographic memory of (Western) knowledge. We are not the missionaries but the perplexed travellers. In our search movement, we are dealing with psychoanalysis, video, performance and trance. As disoriented white men we try the reversal of Black Skin and White Mask by Franz Fanon without blackfacing. We will not only care about the sensitivity of our skin but that of our g/hosts and the one of mother earth.
