With today’s technologies, events have an afterlife – scrutinised in their new forms and meanings. From a man-made explosion on a bus to the Paris Olympics, these events can easily be misinterpreted, manipulated and overlooked in their renewed nature. In this seminar, we will use Cologne as a testing ground to examine seemingly normal or outright abnormal events that hold potential ruptures or harmonies in civic life. We will shift scales in four dimensions to propose new questions and accounts of events – slowing down milliseconds to years, speeding up centuries to minutes.
The seminar will include text readings, presentations, and urban and audiovisual design experiments in teams. It will be an interdisciplinary event with ethnology students from the University of Cologne and architecture students from the TH Köln.
All meetings are in person.
Intro: Wed, 9 Apr, 09:00 – 10:00
Block 1: Sat, 26 Apr, 10:00 – 17:00
Block 2: Sat, 10 May, 10:00 – 17:00
Block 3: Sat, 17 May, 10:00 – 17:00
Block 4: Sat, 31 May, 10:00 – 17:00
Final: Wed, 4 Jun, 09:00 – 12:00
