Driving the Human Festival: Vivien Tauchmann, Self-As-Other-Training: Textiles
A participative performance by Vivien Tauchmann.
Albert-László Barabási, founder of the »Barabási Lab«, explains how the innovative and interdisciplinary field of network science enables the analysis of various cultural and social phenomena. Invisible, hidden connections and constantly repeating patterns within nature, society, language, and culture can not only be explored but also made visible. Barabási’s network approach promises to deliver a comprehensive, universal method that will illuminate many phenomena with scientific precision. In Spring 2021 the »Barabási Lab« will present networks in a variety of visual forms that have emerged within research projects over the last 20 years at the ZKM | Karlsruhe.
Driving the Human Festival: Panel discussion TECHNOLOGY Panel discussion with Maximilian Ilse (PhD candidate at the Amsterdam Machine Learning Lab (AMLab), Simone Niquille (designer, researcher), moderated by Ariana Dongus. The panelists discuss the invincible connection between economy, design and A.I.
Maximilian Ilse gives insight in the work of an A.I. researcher who is being trained in the evaluation of data without experiencing any level of reflection on the ethical and social implications of his work.
Driving the Human Festival: Vivien Tauchmann, »Self-As-Other-Training: Textiles« A participative performance by Vivien Tauchmann.
Vivien Tauchmann produced five »Self-As-Other-Trainings« that were shown throughout the festival. The »Self-As-Other-Trainings« address the necessity of educating our bodies through the de-contextualisation of these silent exclusions and the active embodiment of the ‘other’ in choreographed storylines, in order to evoke critical self-reflection and eventually provoke behavioral change. The work seeks to demonstrate that empathy is not only a rational capability, but also a physical state of mind through which we can reshape our connections to people beyond our known scope.
