Inhalte | With Rene Descard, humanity developed a more rational concept of being human, with a rather calculative understanding of the construction of the future. In the last 500 years humanity has been so successful with this way of thinking that Yuval Noah Harari has declared that we have now reached the age of the Anthropocene, in which Homo sapiens with technological advancements dominate global biological, geological and atmospheric processes. At the same time, the concerns around climate change have never been more real. As forces like the rise of emerging technologies and shifting global economics change views of the world, we ask ourselves: how can we create this future of an advanced, sustainable society? The capacity of imagination and creative expression is one of the defining qualities of being human. This pool seminar will tap into the liminal space towards a sustainable future in order to inform the creative process of modern-day artists to use their artistic capabilities as a tool to predict, explore, and even shape such a future. In this way, the seminar will elaborate on theories and examples around several questions. What will it take to create a more resilient future society? What are the myths of our economics? What is the role of money? What are the implications of digitalization and exponential technologies for our society? How can emerging technologies foster sustainability, as well as alienation? What are the creative methodologies for developing a more resource-efficient society? Students adopt a critical, constructive perspective to contemporary movements in economics, technologies, and design in the context of discussing sustainability. Through theoretical analysis, collaborative projects, discussion, and group work the students will be able to develop an individual point of view. *** Mit Rene Descard entwickelte die Menschheit ein eher rationaleres Konzept des Seins mit einem kalkulierten Verständnis, die Zukunft zu schaffen. In den vergangenen 500 Jahren war die Menschheit mit dieser Art zu denken so erfolgreich, dass Yuval Noah Harari heute statuiert, dass wir im Zeitalter des Anthropozäns angelangt sind, in dem der Homo Sapiens dank technologischer Erfindungen die globalen biologischen, geologischen und atmosphärischen Prozesse massgeblich beeinflusst. Im selben Moment wird die Sorge um den Klimawandel immer realer. Während Dynamiken wie die Verbreitung hochentwickelter Technologien und die sich wandelnde globale Ökonomie die Sicht auf die Welt verändern, stellt sich uns die Frage, wie eine nachhaltige Zukunft aussehen kann. Die Fähigkeit der Vorstellungskraft und des kreativen Schaffens ist eine der bestechendsten Eigenschaften des Menschseins. Das Pool-Seminar wird den Grenzbereich in Richtung dieser nachhaltigen Zukunft erörtern, um den kreativen Prozess moderner Künstler zu inspirieren, damit diese ihre künstlerischen Fähigkeiten zur Erforschung, Vorherbestimmung, und Gestaltung einer solchen Zukunft nutzen. Das Pool-Seminar wird auf Theorien und Beispiele zur Nachhaltigkeit eingehen und fragen: Wie kann eine nachhaltige Gesellschaft in Zukunft aussehen? Was sind die Mythen unseres Wirtschaftens? Welche Rolle spielt Geld? Welche Auswirkungen haben Digitalisierung und aufstrebende Technologien auf unsere Gesellschaft? Wie können aufstrebende Technologien Nachhaltigkeit sowie Entfremdung fördern? Was sind die gestalterischen Methoden, um eine ressourceneffiziente Gesellschaft zu entwickeln? Die Studierenden erhalten eine kritisch-konstruktive Perspektive hinsichtlich zeitgenössische Strömungen zu Wirtschaft, Technologie und Design im Kontext der Nachhaltigkeitsdiskussion. Durch theoretische Analysen, konkrete Projekte, Diskussion und Gruppenarbeit werden die Studierenden in der Lage sein, eine individuelle Position zu entwickeln.
