Ruth Anderwald: Der Taumel – eine Ressource?, lecture in German at Forum 20:17, Zukunftslabor der Jugendarbeit.9–10 October, 2017Merano, Italy
As the artistic research project Navigating Dizziness Together started mid-May, this video-lecture is an introduction to the field to provide background for the definition of dizziness and further proceedings of the artistic research.
Sound, growling behind the door, an unknown source of noise, the seduction growing, my whole body anticipating total surrender.
Dizziness can be understood as a resource but also as a somatic state. In this conversation, the individual research fields intertwine with artistic, philosophical, medical, ethnographic, or architectural sources and case studies.
Atmosphere is a topic that commands increasing attention not only with respect to climate change but also in the humanities, particularly in philosophy, design, and the arts. Besides its climatological meaning, atmosphere indicates the pervading tone, mood, or ambience of a place, situation, or work of art
What is creativity? Which myths are associated with it? This workshop seeks to to shed light on the topic from the viewpoints of art, philosophy and neuroscience.
The process of slipping into dizzying freefall, of sliding into uncertainty, becoming stuck, losing one’s way, giving up are as much actions as occurrences, both active and passive. Dizziness is a midway state at the point where everything and nothing seems possible, where certainty and uncertainty are in superposition, marked by an increasing loss of control.
