==Beschreibung==

Seit Marshall McLuhan vorgeschlagen hat, das Medium nicht nur als Informationsträger, sondern als Ding zu sehen, das einen eigenen Aussagewert generiert, hat der Begriff des Werkzeuges eine neue Bedeutung erhalten: Werkzeuge und Apparate hinterlassen nicht nur am Gegenstand der Bearbeitung ihre Spuren. Sie selbst haben eigene Narrative und erzählen Geschichten.

In einer postdigitalen Gesellschaft scheinen die Werkzeuge zu verschwinden in technologiegestützten Ereignissen. Diese bauen Kraftfelder auf als und für Netze, soziale Bewegungen und Herrschaftsstrukturen.

Im Modul wollen wir einen Blick werfen auf die Artefakte und Konstrukte eines Alltags voller technischer Geräte und Maschinen und diese im Einzelnen betrachten, um ihren Charakter und ihr Ausdruckspotenzial im oben beschriebenen Sinne zu erkennen. Wie organisieren Apparate Menschen? Welches Bild von Zusammenleben implizieren die Werkzeuge? Welche Gesellschaft entwerfen sie?

Im Projekt werden verschiedene Methoden des Arbeitens mit Apparaten und über Apparate vorgestellt. Eine Übersicht über die in der Professur zur Zeit verfügbaren Geräte zusammen mit praktischen Rezepten zu deren Nutzung wird angeboten, die zu einem künstlerisch/gestalterischen Produkt werden sollen (Objekt, Display, Installation, Performance etc.).

==Description==

Marshal McLuhan proposed to see the medium as a thing in its own right rather than considering it a mere container of information. The medium as a thing that is capable to generate its own content. Since then the term "tool" has acquired a new meaning: The traces that tools and machines leave in their workpiece are not the only ones. Tools and devices trace out their own narratives and tales. They tell a story.

In a post-digital society it seems like tools dissolve into events that are driven by technology. These events create force fields that turn into networks, social movements, and structures of power.

In the realm of this course we want to have a closer look at the artifacts and constructions of our every-day life full of technical machinery. We want to analyze the tools in detail, identify their character and their potential of expression, in the sense described above. How do machines organize human life? Which idea of coexistence do they imply? What kind of society do they create?

In this course we will introduce various methods of working with devices, as tools and subjects of artistic expression. We will provide you with an overview of devices currently available at chair of Media Environments. This will be complemented with practical recipes of how to use those tools, and shall culminate in practical products (sculptures, exhibits, installations, performances, et cetera).

'''ARCHEOLOGY, EXCAVATION, AND WHAT REMAINS'''
 an installation by Brian Bixby 

----

In his installation ''Archeology, Excavation, And What Remains'' (2012), Bixby uses tilted perspective, angular lines, and clutter to accentuate the organized chaos of a scene. A woman sits in the corner of a room, leaning forward with her feet hanging above a glowing red rectangular hole in the floor and a bloodied knife in her right hand. A large, black, room-dividing mirror acts as a foreground for the scene. A man’s jacket and hat on the floor next to the woman indicate the recent disrobing of the victim.

Bixby leads the viewer to the perpetrator through his canny arrangement of objects on the floor, directing the eye up the middle of the image through the shovel leaning against the wall, to the pile of dirt, and onto the tall mirror with a baby doll at its base mimicking the woman’s glossy-eyed expression. One is left to puzzle out the location of the missing body. On the floor in the foreground, a neatly arranged flower arrangement along with a dark-colored bottle, suggest a nonviolent prelude to the murder that we assume followed.

The installation can only be viewed thru a peephole, which creates a sense of voyeurism as well as flattening and miniaturizing the scene. The viewer cannot see themselves in the mirror but they see the doorway in white and an empty chair facing the mirror. The woman in the back of the room is looking at the invisible figure in the chair. Looking into the mirror and not seeing your own reflection is a surreal and unique experience – there is a sense that we are transported outside of our body and into the image itself. The transportive quality of the scene opens the possibililty of the viewer to be complicit in the crime scene rather than simply a voyeur.

Bixby actively builds upon source material and research for the construction of his works. For this project Bixby analyzed murders in pre-Hitler Germany and their artistic representations, investigating the chilling motives behind representations that aestheticize violence, and that turn the mutilated female body into an object of fascination. Such representations are both riveting in their displays of disfiguring violence, and also repugnant in the detail of morbid carnality.

The profusion of images of Eve, Circe, Medusa, Judith, and Salome in art and literature around 1900 gives vivid testimony to an unprecedented dread of female sexuality and its homicidal power. Bixby suggests that the representations of sexual murder are not just eviscerated female bodies in lewd positions, but that the subject matter is lustful. The German term Lustmord implies desire or pleasure along with sexual gain from the murderous act or representation.

''Archeology, Excavation, And What Remains'' is a sustained reflection on the relationships between gender, crime, violence and representation, part of a series of works titled ''Death and Resurrection''.

''Lehrpersonen:'' [[Ursula Damm]], [[Dominique Hurth]], [[Gunnar Green]] 
''Bewertung:'' 18 [[ECTS]], 16 [[SWS]] 
''Termin:'' Dienstag, 10.00 Uhr 
''Ort:'' [[Marienstraße 7b]], Raum 204 
''Erster Termin:'' 16.10.2012

==Beschreibung==
In den 60er und 70er Jahren entwickelten junge Architekten visionäre und spekulative Stadtszenarien. Bis heute sind Ant Farm, Superstudio und Archigram Vorbilder für ein Aufbegehren gegen eine Architektur, die dem individuellen Lebensgefühl und sozialen Bedürfnissen nicht mehr standhält. Die Entwürfe dieser Avantgarde sind weniger Anleitung zum Häuserbau, denn Visionen einer neuen Lebensform, die Gesellschaftskritik mit utopischem Denken verbindet. 
Im Modul sollen anhand konkreter Orte und Architekturbeispiele riskante, provokative, verträumte, illusorische wie fiktive Neuentwürfe für Lebensraum entwickelt werden. 
In Collagen, Renderings, Interventionen, Installationen, Performances können neue Räume geschaffen werden, die einem individuellen Lebensgefühl Raum und Struktur geben.

==Description==
The Archigram group, the Italian Radicals Superstudio and Archizoom rendered ‘visionary and utopian architecture in the closing juncture of the modernist era, coinciding with the cultural upheavals and social transformations of the 1960s and 1970s’. Until today they are referenced as an example for an architectural critique. Based on real places and existing architecture we will design fictitious, provocative and critical alternatives for build environments. The outcome will be collages, maps, models, interventions or performances.

Bixby: /* Workflow */

Many projects require intricately designed parts that would be impossible to make with normal lathing and machining techniques. Laser cutters can make very precise cuts without warping or destroying nearby material, allowing for very elaborate designs.

A laser cutter is a device that uses a focused beam of light to melt or burn through a target material. Laser cutters are computer-controlled to maintain precision. Some things to keep in mind if you are considering using the laser cutter; non-melting materials such as balsa wood will have scorched edges that can be aesthetically undesirable. Laser cutters generally have a margin of error of .001 inches.

==Workflow==
The first step is to download the [[Media:Vorlage Laserschnitt.ai.zip|Illustrator template]]. Open the template in Adobe Illustrator and you will see your work area, which is the maximum size of material you can use with the Universities laser cutter. All of your designs need to be inside of this white rectangular box. Your lines should be set at 0.25pt thickness.

[[File:schnitt_I_II_gravur.jpg|thumb|left|Line colors for Illustrator template, Schnitt I, Schnitt II, Gravur]]

"Gravur" (red) is the first stage - this will not create actual cuts but can be used to add text, labels, patterns or other engravings. "Schnitt I" (navy blue) is the first cut the machine will make. "Schnitt II" (baby blue) is the 2nd cut the machine will make. Keep this order in mind as your design your layout because you cannot make cuts on areas that have already been cut out by the first cut. An example of what to cut with the "Schnitt I" would be cutting out things like small holes or squares in the design, "Schnitt II" would then cut out the object that has the holes inside of it.

Another thing to keep in mind as you layout your design in the template is that the machine will cut your lines (according to the color) in the order that you draw them in Illustrator - so you either need to draw the design in that order or cut and paste them in the correct order from another file.

Also, to be more efficient with your time you should place all of your pieces side by side and only include 1 line for pieces that are the same size and touching each other. For example; if you are cutting 2 squares, they should be placed side by side and the line that touches in the middle should only exist one time - so it is an open square with 3 sides and a complete square with 4 full sides. If you don't design like this the laser cutter will literally cut both instances of this line because it is following your lines exactly and it is not smart enough to simply create a single cut when lines overlay each other.

==Material==
The University laser cutter supports 2 types of material; balsa wood and plexiglass. The maximum thickness of balsa wood is 1.5mm and the maximum width of plexiglass is 2mm.

To get the maximum value from your session you should try to fill your entire working area with material and make the design with the least amounts of cuts necessary for a faster cut. The cost is based on time.
