“To be con-temporary does not necessarily mean to be present, to be here-and-now; it means to be “with time” rather than “in time.” “Con-temporary” in German is “zeitgenössisch.” As Genosse means “comrade,” to be con-temporary–zeitgenössisch—can thus be understood as being a “comrade of time”—as collaborating with time, helping time when it has problems, when it has difficulties. “

Adam Wiese

Adam is a designer based in Omaha, Nebraska, working at RDG Planning and Design. He is a co-founding collaborator of Studio Ambiguous founded during gradschool with Alex Moore. His creative focus extends across digital and physical design, exploring post-internet theory’s impact on urban and domestic spaces. In the digital realm, he examines technology’s role in shaping experiences, while in the physical realm, he delves into materiality’s influence on our interactions with the built environment.

Adam earned acclaim for his Master’s thesis, “Images of Domesticity Post-Internet,” at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, receiving the Harry F. Cunningham Bronze Medal. His work reflects a keen curiosity about technology’s effects on modern living spaces.

Adam serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Nebraska Lincoln, leading a speculative design studio focused on narrative architecture. He also leads design thinking summer camps for middle schoolers interested in architecture and design through the Kaneko.
