 Maps, Territories and Possibility Spaces
+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 Schiefer-Park/Thüringen as an intensive working retreat in early June.
+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.
