Here I will collect all the Documentation of the Thought Process for the WS22/23 Course [[Raum als Interface]] in the module Perspectives of Design.

Okay, as I gathered it, the task is to create situations and showings.

What are those?

  • Situation := Is some kind of performance is unique in time and space is interactive

  • Showing := Is some kind of communication of ideas presentation of sorts creativity in media is a plus

  • Constraints of the task: has to be analog has to utilize the room as space has to enhance some aspects of being in space

First Situation

Research guidance: How does a space interact with us on an affective level? How do Rooms shape Human-to-Human interaction?

Focus 1: Entering Rooms/Situations

How do we manipulate space?

How am I in space? - How do I want to be?

First Reflection on the project

Working with Friedrich was kind of a new experience. I felt that construction and planning were quite explorative, involving a lot of unwalked paths. Nevertheless, I felt productive and can stand behind our common output. The openness of the task(s) is something that needs getting used to, so far I felt that the constraints of the course are too loose to get me started immediately and similarly too tight as to simply allow me to directly utilize ideas stowed away in my head. This weird limbo situation might very well be intended and seemingly reveal much to me about how ritualized creativity looks like.
