THE REORCHESTRATION OF THINGS I
07/17workshop about transforming scrap into weird and interesting drawing devices
the things we design - whether it is architecture, products, graphics or art - are strongly influenced by available technology in the form of tools. but increasingly it is also about designing technology itself: artifacts that are technologically conceived and implemented from the ground up.
as part of my diploma thesis, i developed a course format that aims to integrate technology more strongly into the design process for this purpose: intuitive design as with pencil and paper.
process
Given the task of producing a graphic result, eleven first-year students from the architecture, industrial design and communication design and fine arts programs generated new machine typologies in a free creative and perceptual process that transcended conceptuality and purpose, creating so-called drawing machines by breaking down, recombining, and reprogramming old office equipment such as printers, scanners, or disk drives.

final video
all the resulting machines can be viewed in this final movie. in the background you can hear Martin Heidegger, giving an interview about the importance of a well-founded approach towards technology. Heidegger was one of the main inspirations for the whole diploma thesis.
