Jewellery design alumni success

Date: 2022.04.13
Items by two MOME alumni were selected for inclusion in the collection of Schmuckmuseum (Jewellery Museum) in Pforzheim in March: A brooch from Szilvia Rémiás’ BODY LIGHT jewellery collection won the 'Art Jewellery by Young Talents at the Museum' competition, while Nóra Tengely’s ‘TWO’ brooch was purchased by the museum directly.

The 'Art Jewellery by Young Talents at the Museum’ competition has been organised by the International Society of Friends of Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim (ISSP) since 1998, to promote the introduction and presentation of the works of young emerging designers breaking with conventional forms. The work of the winner of the sponsorship award is bought and donated to the modern collection by the society of friends of the museum.

In addition to help advance the career of young designers, the goal is also to secure new, unusual, extraordinary or even “wilder” jewellery to the museum’s collection.

Szilvia Rémiás’ jewellery designs literally put the spotlight on the human body, while also accentuating their own structure. The BODY LIGHT collection is focused on light, combining structure, form and technical experimentation, and showing off its mechanism of action and incorporating it into a jewellery.

Nóra Tengely’s brooch ‘TWO’ was purchased by the museum directly after the competition.

The works were nominated for the competition based on recommendation by head of MOME Jewellery Design and Metalwork MA Flóra Vági. Congratulations to the winners!

A stunning video illustrating the evolution of starspots over time on the surface of red giant XX Trianguli (XX Tri) has been produced by data scientists Ádám Radványi and Viktor Varga of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME). Based on 16 years of observations, researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and the Astronomy Institute of the HUN-REN Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences reconstructed the changes in the cooler regions of the star’s surface, known as starspots. The MOME team translated these findings into an engaging data visualisation animation, making this complex phenomenon accessible to a broader audience.

What therapeutic effect could a beautiful virtual walk through nature or immersive gardening have? This is one of the questions explored by the Zenctuary VR+ project, led by Ágnes Karolina Bakk PhD within the FutureCare Lab at MOME, which has secured nearly 1 million euros in funding through the HU-rizont grant programme of the National Research, Development, and Innovation Office. Developed for healthcare facilities, this virtual natural environment aims to serve both rehabilitative and diagnostic purposes, improving patient care and the quality of life for the elderly, promoting recovery, and reducing the workload of healthcare professionals.

“It is a great privilege to continue my work as Head of the MOME Doctoral School, an institution synonymous with innovation, creativity, and excellence,” said Professor Ábel Szalontai upon accepting his appointment to lead the Doctoral School until 31 December 2025.
