This exhibition at the Museum of Prehistory and Early History of Thuringia showed ten projects that were created at the fertile intersection of archaeology, current design topics and the latest technology. It featured works from the project module Prehistoric-Postdigital, in which students chose an artifact from the museum and speculatively translated or reactualized it using contemporary digital capture and fabrication techniques. The museum's collection and spaces provided starting points for students to develop their own speculative design practices. At the invitation of the museum, these practices were in turn shown the museum. Here they were staged as foreign bodies, on floating platforms and sculptural interventions, on the first floor of the museum.
This project was supported by the Bauhaus University Kreativfonds.
