Projektmodul
Lecturer(s): Mark Shepard, Visiting Professor from the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York
Credits: 18 ECTS, 12 SWS
Date: Tuesdays, 9:15
Venue: Marienstraße 5, Room 204
First meeting: 21.10.2014

Description

By the year 2020 the number of network-enabled “things” is projected to reach 50 billion, or 7 for each person on the planet. As networked things become more commonplace, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications will outnumber those of human-to-machine (H2M) and human-to-human (H2H) communications over the Internet. This has profound implications for the nature and place of things in human habitats and our interactions with and through them in the course of our daily lives.

  • What happens when humans become a minority on the Internet?
  • What new qualities might this emerging society of networked things exhibit?
  • How might we imagine alternative relations between people and things within such a society?

This studio will investigate the social, spatial and political implications of these questions through the creation of a collective installation composed of individual, network-enabled things. We will explore and problematize simple behaviors of responsive things (for example: plants that tweet when they need water, a light bulb that indicates a coming storm by changing color) and study how these behaviors gain complexity not only in their networked interactions with each other, but also though embodied interactions with people in space.
