"Surrealistic Echo" by Wojciech Brzozowski presents four surreal, immersive 3D worlds. The work utilizes an original, hybrid method of combining personal photogrammetric scans with surreal 3D worlds. It was created using a series of four 3D scenes (quadriptych) in video format. The work's innovation lies in the creative use of photogrammetry as a tool of memory and autobiography, the construction of narratives without and without dialogue, the creation of new patterns of immersive storytelling, and the expansion of the discipline of digital art to include practices bordering on documentary and surrealism. The work was presented for the first time at the SYNTEZA "Adaptations / Reconfigurations" exhibition organized by: Art for Things. Design in Krakow, the Interdisciplinary Faculty of SWPS University – Krakow, the Faculty of Interior Design and Stage Design and the Faculty of Graphic Arts of the Academy of Art in Szczecin, the International Triennial of Graphic Arts in Krakow, and the Seweryn Udziela Ethnographic Museum in Krakow. The patronage over the event was assumed by: the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the National Centre for Culture, the Marshal of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship and the Mayor of Szczecin.

The artistic installation "Pre-spring" was created through an interdisciplinary collaboration between designer Małgorzata Malinowska (Mega Malinowsky) and Dr. Urszula Zajączkowska, professor at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. "Pre-spring" presents Polish plants in transitional stages of development, collected and dried throughout the year, revealing the processes of growth, death, and rebirth. The installation consists of 133 carefully selected plants, embedded in transparent resin spheres with diameters of 90 mm (0.43 kg), 110 mm (0.8 kg), and 140 mm (1.6 kg), arranged in 26 hanging sets, forming a 500 cm arc within the illuminated display structure. Each set rotates independently (0.5 revolutions/min) thanks to quiet electric mechanisms with adjustable speed and direction. The installation was presented in the Polish Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka (April 13–October 13, 2025) under the supervision of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency. Media patronage included Elle, Whitemad, National Geographic, Telewizja Polska, Polskie Radio, The Yomiuri Shimbun, and the Polish Press Agency (PAP). The exhibition in the Polish Pavilion was visited by over 1.3 million people.

The exhibition, created by Prof. Tomasz Bierkowski, Prof. Mariusz Wszołek, and Mateusz Antczak, members of the Communication Design Center at SWPS University, was held in the Agora exhibition space in the Betancourt Building on the Río Ebro Campus of the University of Zaragoza (January 12–31, 2026). Dr. Anna Biedermann served as curator. The exhibition presented the results of research on the impact of basic visual techniques. In this context, the most frequently used typographical devices (bold, underline, and italics) were analyzed in terms of the effectiveness of processing information contained in legal documents. The research was conducted by the Communication Design Center team as an empirical verification of Richard E. Mayer's (2005) signaling rules. The exhibition encourages reflection on classic findings regarding signaling principles, analyzed in the specific context of a legal document. The project was developed as part of a research grant from the SWPS Research and Development Fund.

The "Campfire" salt lamp was designed and created specifically for the "Żyjnia" exhibition-situation at BWA Wrocław. The 80 cm diameter and 40 cm high object was crafted from oak and rock salt in collaboration with Kopalnia Soli Kłodawa S.A. The use of salt as a sculptural material is exploratory in nature – combining its physical and symbolic properties with the sensory impact it has on the exhibition space. The work is the focal point of the exhibition space – serving as a symbolic campfire around which viewers orient themselves spatially and socially. It evokes the archetype of a communal place of meeting, reflection, and regeneration, aligning with the concept of the Żyjnia as a "living" art space functioning in harmony with the cycles of nature. The work is part of a year-long project implemented by BWA Wrocław. The exhibition was produced with the support of the Municipality of Wrocław and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, under the honorary patronage of the Mayor of Wrocław.
