Call for Participation

What can creative responses to technology look like? How can technology's focus on ideas with application be embraced, rather than rejected? Does a sense of play offer a possibility, a way to begin thinking? What kind of thinking are we talking about, and where might this thinking take place? Can our own experiences become an origin that allows us to perform philosophy? A performative philosophy might not be exclusively about technology, but about our being-in-the-world, one in which technology plays a part but one we have initiated, from which we can also begin to think about being-in-landscape, about senses of existence. A poetic approach can verge on play: We might engage in telling experiences, finding examples, reflecting on concepts and expressions, and considering the functional and the dysfunctional. Our LEARN focuses on questions like these and works on approaches in our technological age that will develop in a poetic form, open to ludic reflection.

To participate in the LEARN, please write an email to both Jessica Sequeira (jessica.sequeira@gmail.com) and Jörg Sternagel (Joerg.Sternagel@zhdk.ch) providing short info on your background and affiliation. Since the LEARN is limited to 20 participants, acceptance will be organized on a first write, first admission basis! The call is open from Friday, July 5th 2019, 08.00 am to Tuesday July 9th 2019, 08.00 pm Zurich time. If you are accepted, you will hear back from us by Monday, July 15th 2019, 01.00 pm Zurich time.
