The CCI Lab presents various projects and workshops that demonstrate the potential of combining artistic and industrial know-how and express the progressive networking of forms of knowledge. The project was developed in cooperation with InduCCI, a European initiative to promote cultural and creative industries in traditionally industrial regions in Central Europe
In the workshop, artist Christiane Wittig creates a Laboratory of the Senses. The laboratory serves as a source of information and an experiment to trigger reflection for the reformulation of the sensual in us. In times of expanded realities we deal with sensual experiences theoretically, philosophically and practically. Our own sensory lives are transformed by the subtle workings of machines in the background and foreground. In the workshop, artistic auxiliary objects, so-called “sense objects” are created, which in connection with machines can evoke a new perception. The artist has designed a prototype of a machine of the senses, the carousel. The workshop participants gain access to techniques such as AR and Smart Materials.
The workshop takes place in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU Chemnitz and the Klub Solitaer e.V. as cultural project sponsor.
