Wearing Worlds at Laborastories

What does the work of scientists actually consist of? At the casual »Storytelling« event in the »Mall Anders« in the WILMA Shopping Center, a broad public had the opportunity to meet researchers from the Berlin Clusters of Excellence. For »Matters of Activity«, Yoonha Kim gave insights into her research work. She was looking into traditional Korean clothing – the ›Hanbok‹ – as an active matter and how the East Asian ontology embedded in the garment can trigger divergent ways of how digital objects exist.

»Meet the Scientist« at the »Mall Anders« was a joint event by the Berlin Clusters of Excellences MATH+, Neurocure, UniSysCat, SCRIPTS and Matters of Activity.

The event was in German and English.

Wrap up

The »Mall Anders« in the Wilmersdorfer Arkaden in Charlottenburg was a temporary testing ground for learning, discussing, experimenting & exploring in the Wilmersdorfer Arkaden in Charlottenburg. Initiated by Berlin universities and projected by a team of specialists for transdisciplinary teaching at the TU Berlin, the »Mall anders« was funded by the Berlin University Alliance, on the one hand to make the research topics of Berlin's clusters of excellence more visible, and on the other hand to test and further develop participatory teaching and learning processes at the interface between clusters and society.
