Connection to Climate Change:
Overall goals:
Narrative
- 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 ~ human approach; habit ~ social approach; agitare ~ ecological approach;)
Material
- the Cardboard Laboratory takes cardboard as a temporarily media of civilisation
- critical perspective on the material: usually used in very precarious settigns
Space
- role of landscape and theatre
- 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
- democratic decision-making on the process (**in what sense?)
Deliverables:
- Photos, Recordings
- Instagram Account (*can they use their own web platform?)
- Booklet to lay out for final day
...
make outcome graspable
urgency
time pressure
what is the cost of living a quiet life?
additional notes
Uncertainty, "you don't know what tomorrow is made of"
...
Brief: students are not problem-solving for potential future consumers, they are the actors of their own world

_how would CO2 balancing (compensation and creation of it) affect cryptocurrency?
_uncovering human relationship to climate change in history
_different layers of the atmosphere get sold (in terms of finding "stable windows")
_ways of articulating climate through computational data, performances, political debates(climate change conference bonn) - (http://www.olafureliasson.net blog)
_material speculation workshop on clouds* as spin-off for the seminar (potentially, I could ask a professor for a Skype conversation within our seminar – I met her at MIT – Weather in a tank - cloudsYouTube)
*(f.l.t.r. Nebula (artificial cloud) exhibition in Zurich 2016, "Per-Forming Clouds" Workshops 2016-now, junior summer school on geo engineering/ cloud seeding "Stormy Weathers" at ZHdK 2017)
_personally wishful process/outcomes: narratives about living with our climate in 2100 (climate forces new materials to arise or stock markets exchanges), models and simulations of climate/ trading systems, instruments for observation)
