Spekulative Objekte

Spekulative Objekte

In diesem Kurs wurde beispielhaft aufbauend auf aktuelle wissenschaftliche Forschungsprozesse rund um das Thema "airborne particles" mit künstlerisch-kreativen Methoden versucht spekulative Objekte zusammen zu entwerfen. Diese Seite soll einen Überblick über die im Kurs ausgeführten Übungen und diverse entstandene Materialien geben, um eine Möglichkeit zu bieten diese auch in das eigene Arbeiten zu integrieren.

Kursinhalt

Unsere Übungen begannen mit einer kurzen Einführung in aktuelle Forschungsmethoden und Wissensbestände rund um das Thema "airborne particles" im tieranatomischen Museum in der Charité in den Räumen der Ausstellung "Stretching Materialities". Mehr zu dieser Forschung und zur Ausstellung auf Clemens Website: https://clemenswinkler.com/narrative-materials.html Nach dieser Einführung haben wir damit begonnen mit unterschiedlichen Übungen individuell und in der Gruppe unsere eigenen Airborne Particles zu entwerfen und in verschiedenen praktischen Übungen mit diesen kollektiven Imaginationen in Kontakt zu treten.
