Design and Conflict / Block Seminar (English / 4 SWS / 5 ECTS)

Dates: 04.-07.10.2022, 10:00-17:00 / 10.-12.10.2022, 10:00-17:00

Registration: Please register by emails by latest the 01.06.2022 to: michelle.christensen@tu-berlin.de and florian.conradi@tu-berlin.de

Participants: Max. 15 participants

Room: Berlin Open Lab (TU/UdK Berlin), Universität der Künste Berlin, Einsteinufer 43, 10587 Berlin

Description:

What is the relation between design and conflict? From armed conflicts and environmental strifes, to anti-gender regimes and increasingly socially disrupted societies – what role might design and technology play in all of this? How are conflicts designed – and how do current modes of design activism assist in subverting unjust systems of power?   

When observing design emerging in conflict situations – be it the re-use of phone credits as currency, DIY drones to monitor conflicts zones, open-source radical servers to construct alternative communication networks or the building of radio-transmitters out of electronic trash: Designing in times of conflict oftentimes involves a high level of improvisation. It exposes things that emerge out of dire circumstances, are made under strong limitations, and that incite Bottom-Up alternative infrastructures for and by those who need them the most.

In this block seminar, we will take a closer look at the topic of design as, against and in times of conflict. Bringing together insights from Conflict- and Design Research, we will locate the intersections and exemplify them on real-world examples, and on your own experiences. Drawing on low-tech open-source alternative tech, we will carry out a series of design experiments that explore and further develop the idea of ‘doing a lot with a little’ (no prior experience with design or technology necessary).

Design + Crisis – Pluriversal Pathways to a Post-Anthropocene

Block Seminar (English / 4 SWS)

Dates:

28.02.-03.03.2023, 10:00-16:00

06.03.-07.03.2023, 10:00-16:00

Registration:

Please register by email by the 22.02.2023 to: michelle.christensen@tu-berlin.de and florian.conradi@tu-berlin.de

Participants:

Max. 15 participants

Room:

Berlin Open Lab (TU/UdK Berlin), Universität der Künste Berlin, Einsteinufer 43, 10587 Berlin

Description:

Deeply entangled in a crisis of the Anthropocene, the need to radically reassemble relationships of ecologies and technologies is more vital than ever – to re/think socio-technical practices and re/design modes of convening with our companion species and environments.

Within the framework of this block-seminar, we will discuss critical perspectives on western-centric paradigms of understanding nature and technology, exploring pluriversal approaches to interspecies sustainability. We will explore concepts of beyond-western-centric cosmologies and cosmogonies, speculating on organic technologies and the symbioscene. And drawing on the approaches of speculative design and critical making, we will debate and prototype alternative human-nonhuman relationships (with an open source soft and hard attitude), integrating critical thinking with designing.

*This seminar will be carried out in collaboration with visiting scholar Sénamé Koffi Agbodjinou, founder of L'Africaine d'Architecture and Woelabs Lomè.

Studio Class – Politics of Machines (English / 4 SWS / 6 ECTS)

Dates: Tuesdays 10:00-13:30 / Introduction: 25.10.2022

Registration: Please register by the 21.10.2022 with your name, field of study and matriculation number to: michelle.christensen@tu-berlin.de and florian.conradi@tu-berlin.de

Participants: Max. 15 participants

Room: Einstein Center Digital Future, Wilhelmstraße 67, 10117 Berlin

Description:

In a state of ontological crisis, all boundaries between human and machine, nature and culture, and the organic and inorganic have been severely blurred. These are times of curious contrivances, novel natures, inescapable automation and posthuman performances – where human and nonhuman find themselves being entwined, meshed and muddled into new unwitting entanglements. But from biased machine-learning to surveillance capitalism and digital colonisation – what power-structures are implicitly and covertly being embedded into these technologies? When are we still at the centre of the social algorithm, and when do we become extensions of the extensions that we built? Do we have to raise a discussion about political systems of things – about ubiquitous capitalism, algorithmic aristocracy or object-mediated democracy?

In this studio class we will discuss ethical, social and political implications of technology with a focus on automation versus autonomy. We will practice and formulate critical perspectives on the politics of machines, discovering novel phenomena and shadowing the material regimes of power that we ourselves live within – hindering and compromising personal devices and thus conducts, in order to uncover latent power structures embedded in everyday life. Furthermore, drawing on the approaches of research-through-design and critical making, we will prototype possibilities and provocations, integrating critical thinking and designing (no prior experience with design or technology necessary).
