Vera Bühlmann about art and design as a driver for social change.
On March 18, 2021, editor and professor for architecture theory at TU Vienna, Vera Bühlmann, gave a presentation about the topic: On the multifarious lives of umbrageous objects: A neo-baroque cast of questions to unsettle digital ontologies. Watch the record of the DFR Talk now!
On the multifarious lives of umbrageous objects:
A neo-baroque cast of questions to unsettle digital ontologies. In search for how social and environmental change can be driven sustainably today, perhaps one question becomes especially important: namely that which asks about the relation between computation and time.
This DFR Talk will present and discuss 5 abstract figures of thought (tropes) for design-thinking, that engage with ‘recycling’ in this manner.
Five Tropes:
- Of Lax Scope: Times of Crisis, Outrage and Computation
- Vanitas: Algebra and Nullity
- Umbrageous Objects: An Ars Memoria that aims at Forgetting
- Decreation and Advocacy (Fürsprache): Philology and Code
- Copia and Consumption: Circular Writing and Still Lives today
DFR Talks continue with Thomas Feichtner
