The Society for Media Studies (Gesellschaft für Medienwissenschaft, GfM) held its annual conference at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz from September 25 to 28, 2024. This year’s theme was “assembling” (versammeln), focused on media, orders, forms and critical practices of gathering. The concept encompassed images, data and bodies as well as political collectives, archives, architecture, and infrastructure.
Katharina Koch and Marcel Backscheider were responsible of the design, which included posters, tote bags, T-shirts, badges, and social media content. It was set in HAL Four Grotesk (HAL Typefaces) and Director (Velvetyne Type Foundry), designed by May Jolivet and Justine Herbel as part of the Reviving Ange Degheest project at EESAB Rennes.
