Inhalte	This one-week intensive course will focus on theoretical and practical production of simulations. The class will be introduced to and appropriate simulation methods from scientific predictive studies, professional training, and entertainment for artistic use. Each session of the course will introduce a type of simulation, include a practical experiment, and work towards a final production of a simulation by each student which may also be collaborative. While simulation can invoke ideas of high-technology Haseeb Ahmed and Eirini Sourgiadaki will ask students to consider how can language be used as a tool to invoke, suggest, and create imaginative contexts which are then substantiated through material experiences. Can spaces be written? If so in which ways? We will introduce excerpts from science fiction and creative non-fiction as examples. ?Memory errors? enable people to recall memories of events that we have never happened, things we have never experienced, times we have never lived, places we have never been. This is a primary experience connected to feelings that are then followed by concept formation. It is this emotive capacity in memory that we will use in the creation of our simulations in this course. We will explore these questions in a larger concern of what is the minimum and maximum in an economy of objects, signs and signifiers needed to create an experience of a place or a time that is distant from one?s current position. Beyond written pretexts we will introduce other senses including, smell, taste, sight, sound, and recording devices and experimental setups.
