Open Lab Evening: Deep Mapping Berlin's Urban Space
Laboratory of ideas for the future of agriculture
© Foto: Julia Wolf
In the series with the Berlin Open Lab (BOL), you can collect ideas for the future of agriculture with us! Immerse yourself in the world of design research and explore how old and new methods can help make agriculture and land use more sustainable. Together with young researchers from the Berlin Open Lab, you will learn how to make donuts more sustainable with the help of AI or produce fertilizer from urine. You will bring old salt extraction techniques into the present with 3D printing, explore the concept of a commons forest and develop smart warning systems for the forest. Experimenting with seaweed, you will discover an ecosystem between marine cultivation, research and craftsmanship.
With the help of analog and digital tools and methods such as 3D scanning, sound recordings, sketches, models, samples and frottage, we take a close look at the built and natural environment around the FUTURIUM.
"Deep mapping" is a method of literally diving deep into a place from a wide variety of perspectives and using unusual techniques. We will examine and document what we find with the help of various tools and media. At the end, we will reflect on our results together and get an impression of how design methods can help to rediscover the familiar and how individually everyone perceives the shared public space.
Cooperation
The Berlin Open Lab (BOL) at UdK Berlin brings together researchers and ideas from different fields to enable new forms of design. The Berlin Open Lab is an experimental space for transdisciplinary research projects at the interface of technology, society and art.
Workshop leader
Julia Wolf currently researches and teaches at the Institute for Transmedia Design at the Berlin University of the Arts. In her artistic project "Material-digital Entanglements - situated and implicit Material Knowledge in a post-digital World", she explores cobalt, wood and AI-generated materials, including the social, political and (hands-on) technological interrelationships in the context of our digitalized world. Julia Wolf is a scholarship holder of the DiGiTal funding program at TU Berlin.
