Speculating Materials

Cluster member Clemens Winkler was a guest at Morphing Matter Lab Cloud Salon on April 2nd 2021, 9:30–10.30 pm (3:30–4:30 pm EST). His studio talk »Speculating Materials« dealt with the questions: How can we give people agency in a vague, cloudy present by reflecting on a Heterotopia through speculating materials? And how can a material-oriented approach in design emphasize the organic interplay between activation/synthesis/assembly and inhibition/degradation/disruption? Also, this talk reflected on the potential of matter as a mediator between various disciplines, spaces and timescales.
