Revision as of 08:23, 1 June 2023
The map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness. — Alfred Korzybski, Science and Sanity, p. 58.
Maps and territories contrast two manifestations of space: there are inner mental maps that are subject to the logic of our brain and the functioning of neurons. And there is a territory outside. It shows causalities with which we live and act unquestioned and validate with formulas. Possibility spaces are a rather new promise. The term comes from mathematics and describes all states of a system, which in our case is described by sensor data and spatial coordinates. The humanities have assigned great power and vision to these spaces: described by Foucault as utopias, virtual spaces are now places of rich life under entirely new conditions. The project deals with questions of craftsmanship in working with space with the help of sensors as well as with the technological history and constitution of space. In the end, our corporality is and remains the central point of orientation and the measure of reference. It will also be examined how philosophical questions, which in the end ask how utopias become visions and how these can be brought into a non-violent relation and strategy to and in the present.
The project expects the participants to conceive and elaborate a self-defined work, but also offers numerous literature and excursions on the topic.
Part of the project is a field trip to Schieferpark /Thüringen as an intensive working retreat in early June (5.6. until 9.6.). The specialized modules of the professorship are recommended for technical assistance.
Karten und Territoren stellen zwei Raummanifestationen gegenüber: da gibt es innere mentale Räume, die der Logik unseres Gehirns und der Funktionsweise der Neuronen unterliegen. Und es gibt ein Territorium draussen, das Kausalitäten aufweist, mit denen wir ungefragt leben und handeln. Möglichkeitsräume sind ein eher neues Versprechen. Der Term kommt aus der Mathematik und beschreibt alle Zustände eines Systems, das in unserem Fall durch Sensordaten und Raumkoordinaten beschrieben wird. Die Geistesgeschichte weisst diesen Räumen eine große Kraft und Vision zu: von Foucault als Utopien beschrieben, sind virtuelle Räume mittlerweile Orte von reichhaltigem Leben unter ganz neuen Bedingungen.
Im Projekt geht es sowohl um handwerkliche Fragen im Arbeiten mit Raum unter zur Hilfenahme von Sensoren wie auch um die technologische Geschichte und Verfaßtheit von Raum. Dabei ist und bleibt letztendlich unsere Körperlichkeit zentraler Orientierungspunkt und Maßgabe der Referenz. Es soll auch untersucht werden, wie weltanschauliche Fragestellungen, die letztendlich danach fragen, wie aus Utopien Visionen werden und wie diese in eine gewaltfreie Relation und Strategie zur und in die Gegenwart gebracht werden können.
Das Projekt erwartet von den Teilnehmern die Konzeption und Ausarbeitung eines selbstdefinierten Werkes, bietet aber auch zahlreiche Literatur und Exkurse zum Thema.
Bestandteil des Projektes ist eine Exkursion in den Schieferpark als intensivem Arbeitsretreat Anfang Juni (5. - 9. Juni). Empfohlen werden die Fachmodule der Professur zur technischen Hilfestellung.
