stretching senses school

The ongoing climate disaster puts many worlds in imminent danger. But conveying the entanglements of the more-than-human relations is an arduous task. Playful approaches can directly affect our sensory faculties beyond the realm of power and knowledge. The »stretching senses school« is an education-as-research project between »Cutting« and »Object Space Agency«, which stemmed from the exhibition Stretching Materialities. Through this workshop-based contribution to the exhibition, we fostered collaborations between anthropology and immersive interaction art. We are engaging with experimental work alongside digital artists and creative coders in order to raise awareness among the public on the multiscale and embedded interconnections between humans and other earthly beings.

We wish to keep attending to this community of members, which, we hope, will pursue its activities in the years to come, fostering patchy and excessive collaborations between ecological humanities, creative coders, and digital artists. With the intention to build the participation of the Berlin-based artist community, we have developed partnerships with a growing list of local institutions, among other UdK (InKüLe), Tieranatomisches Theater and the Node Institute.
