100 Jahre Bauhaus: We are not alone

THU 5.9. | 11:00 – 12:30: The panel introduces lecturers who in recent years have devoted themselves to arts education that straddles the humanities and the natural sciences. The experiences gained through this examination of science and art find expression in an original theory as well as in the artistic practice of students, sometimes over several generations. We would like to take the time for a critical inventory that not only leads to skepticism, but also to a change in the design of cultural technology. Teachers from various disciplines will explain approaches developed from the encounter of art practice and theory at art colleges. The focus is on the adventures and visions that manifest themselves 100 years after the euphoria of the Bauhaus.

Technoetic Pharmakon

Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts, Roy Ascott Technoetic Arts Studio, DETAO Masters Academy (CN)

Under the term “pharmakon,” our exhibition suggests that the essence of what exists “outside” the cybernetic black box can be considered a remedy for the midlife crisis of the digital revolution. By deploying technoetic processes — a combination of physical, digital and moist media elements — these processes and sub-processes of remediation offer opportunities to recuperate and renew.
