In this open lab participants will get to know the concept of “Humanizing Data” or “Embodying Data.” Rather than perceiving data as mere numbers, this open lab aims to bridge the gap between quantitative information and body-based knowledge. Participants are invited to contribute by writing the word “Human” repeatedly, with the goal to reach a total of 60,000—the estimated death toll in the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Chair of Media Environments in the Faculty of Media Art and Design, Bauhaus Universität Weimar
Referring to environment as the concept deriving from an artistic practice of the nineteen-fifties that emphasizes the mismatch between life and art, the Media Environments Research Chair (GMU) aims to redesign everyday situations, objects, devices, and practices. Through transdisciplinary experimentation with art, technology, biology, and nature, we aim to challenge our own self-conceptions in a rapidly changing world.
