Using experimental interventions in public space participants transfer properties between objects of their interest as a tool for creative analysis. Using drawings, models, photo- and video collages or experimental interventions in the public space we will explore the urban environment.Mapping = Data VisualisationAfter a theoretical introduction based on interdisciplinary examples, the supervisors constantly mentor the individual works of the participants. Claim and practical investigation balance each other in an experience based approach. Starting from real places in Weimar the participants will develop new ideas for mapping in time and space. Be it MIDI or high rise building, sensors and potatoe chips, history and ornament - everything can be mapped to everything. The question remains: How? The class is brought to a conclusion with the documentation of a real - or fictitious spacial installation.
