Projektbeschreibung
The course wants to stimulate and accompany projects of students dealing with emergent behavior of computers and/or their co-existence with non-machines. Non-machine is a term which has been introduced by Mindaugas Gapsevicius and names all non-technical subjects (humans, animals, plants). It inspires us to look at living things from the perspective of a machine and vice versa.
In the module we want to imagine how non-humans dream or how we - humans can use our dreams for a meaningful exchange with other non-machines.
We comprehend the concept of [dreaming] as a term that connects with fictions, futuristic speculations and desires.
And what about human-shaped machines? Being confronted with hallucinations of software processes in many facets of our daily lives, we would also like to better understand the difference between computer hallucinations and our own dreaming capacity.
More and more research focuses on all the creatures which made human life possible. Millions of years of photosynthesis made it possible for us to live on earth today. The ecological crises show that we have not yet understood our dependence on our ecological embedding. Have we developed the wrong kind of technology? What can the capabilities of contemporary technology contribute to a common, intellectual and spiritual sphere?
