Project description
In the relativistic world of the 21st century, if the Bauhaus would still be upheld as an absolute doctrine, we must face the truth: it can hardly be considered a provocation. Despite numerous effort to re-animate contemporary discourse around the historical pedagogy, methodology or masters´ oeuvre, we most often find ourselves caught between contradictory wishes to preserve an intact past and to make sense of a resolutely Avant-Garde spirit. In the face of countless endeavours set around the centennial celebration, should we instead be asking: what counts as a “Bauhaus” topic today? What needs to be demystified? Which aspects of the Bauhaus allow us to rethink it in continuum? In which episteme are such topics and statements situated?
The project “Bauhaus Orbits” responds to these concerns by calling for a different epistemology in design discourse, where elements of discourse formation than that of artistic creation, as laid out by Moholy-Nagy in “Von Material zu Architektur”, are brought into processes of algorithmic systematisation.
