Interdisciplinary DDE Praxismodul 2018 – Climate Change in Switzerland

Brief

The Latin word "habére" (to have, or to "hold"), highlights and address addresses multiple powerful meanings that refers, today, to the relationship with our environment. The word "abito," in Italian, stands for the noun "dress" but also for the verb "abitare," to "dwell" or to "inhabit," in English. In Italian, it also stands for "abitudine," or "habit," in the sense of "having good or bad habits" exactly like in the English sense. But, most important, it is also the root of the word "habitat" defining, in a more holistic way, our environment and the specific environmental condition in which a species lives, including humans. 

...

Based on the reading of the etymological routes of the word habitat, students will be asked to develop a concrete project that reflects upon the consequences of the deep meaning of "dwelling" considered in the broadest sense a result of the climate change in Switzerland. Students will be provided with three to five critical keys to frame the challenge and operate inside a contextualized discourse.


Connection to Climate Change:

Overall goals:

- taking the notion of climate change as a narrative (inviting scenographers on the discourse) 
- setting up a Cardboard Laboratory as a space for spatial cardboard props reflecting different angles on climate change
- democratic decision-making on the process
- the Cardboard Laboratory takes cardboard as a temporarily media of civilisation
- role of landscape and theatre
- students work in groups on different scales ( abito abito ~ human approach; habit ~ social approach; agitare ~ ecological approach;)
- in the first two weeks setting up a scenography, such as a Laboratory for treating Mind Illness through Climate Effects or space capsule for Escapists, )
- in the second two weeks the students bring their settings into live, with storyboards, acting, performing, inviting, improvising, interacting..
- outcome will be recorded movies as well as scenes from the Cardboard Lab in the final exhibition of the interdisciplinary DDE modul
- role of landscape and theatre
- the basic conceptualisation and chosen materials is fixed – the students focus on their personal angle on the topic and train their skills in experience prototyping (as interaction design method)
- thinking fiction in stories and acting sustainable with "usual" cardboard

Deliverables:

  • Photos, Recordings
  • Instagram Account
  • Booklet to lay out for final day

Materials to organize:

- [C] How much cardboard shall we order and where? (C)

I guess, cardboards can be ordered from the Werkstatt. I could ask Thomas and see how that works. For aesthetic reasons, I would ask, if possible, to order 4mm sandwich corrugated cardboard with WHITE coating. The reason is simply that it could be interesting in the Toni White cubers room. But brown is also ok, I am not picky on that. There are other good reasons to use the brown one. (A)

- Order (hot) glue and tape? (C > ITZ Shop)
400m2
http://brieger.ch/de/verpackungszubehor/wellkarton-in-rollen-und-bogen/wellkarton-in-bogen.html (next day order)


- [C] Buy (hot) glue, wood glue and tape?

I am not sure. I am wondering if we can get that in Jumbo as they might have more variety.

...

Hot glue + gun.

Stiches + gun.

- Wooden Planks

BBQ or even better cheap chop sticks for horizontal connections panel 2 panel. 


- Space question (C > Mail to Corina and Flurina) [C] Space question – Preferably a permanent space: Aktionsraum

Yes, this is important. We need a room that we can book. We need that ASAP. Ideally an Atelier space. 


- [C] Which media equipment do we need? (C) 

White board, flip chart, beamer projector . Daylight would not be bad. - we take from the seminar room and the lab

- Anything else ???
