Cognitive Enhancement and Creativity.

According to the essay “Cognitive Enhancement: Methods, Ethics, Regulatory Challenges” by Nick
Bostrom and Anders Sandberg, cognitive enhancement can be defined as an amplification or
extension of essential mental abilities through improvement or increase of systems for the processing
of internal and external information.

In the emerging contemporary suggestion of being able to manage our brain activities, it would be appropriate to ask if starting concept care of the self we are reaching the Hacking of the self that would imply a framing of our brain activities that would affect inevitably our creative processes.

This approach can create an interface of ourselves: will be possible to select a specific mood
(motivation, concentration, memory) for each situation that the artist has to face.
What products for cognitive enhancement are required by the market?
Will they become tools for workers or artists?

Corporations can modify or reshape our the relation with creativity, production and productivity?
Artists should participate in this discussion critically.

Credits: 6 ECTS, 4 SWS 
Date: Tuesdays, 17:00 - 20:30 
Venue: Performance Platform, Digital Bauhaus Lab (Room 001) 
First meeting: Tuesday, April 10th 2018, 17:00 

'''DESCRIPTION''' 
This course emphasises artistic and opposing ways of working with Virtual Reality. Its aim is to establish individual approaches to VR, an increasingly widespread medium which
offers artists new possibilities for expression and intercultural communication.

The practical part will be an Introduction to Unity 3D and Blender. We will look into contemporary and digital art related to recent sociopolitical and mediaphilosophical topics. We will create an artistic discourse on
the topic of VR which will be presented in the form of individual projects at the end of the semester.

'''CRITERIA FOR PASSING''' 
In order to successfully participate you will have to develop and document your own project on the GMU Wiki. Also, regularly attend to the sessions and participation is mandatory.

'''From the body to the city'''

Abraham Moles beschrieb den Menschen als in Schalen existierend, wovon die innerste der eigene Körper ist und die äußerste die Welt beziehungsweise der Weltraum. Der erst Schritt aus dem Körper heraus erfordert den Entwurf eines Raumes: er wird Ort der Entfaltung und des Austauschs. Raum ist das, was wir mit anderen teilen und das, was wir besetzen und gegen Einflüsse abgrenzen. Was wirkt auf den Körper, und wie reagieren wir auf die mediale Auflösung der Grenzen dieser Schalen, aber auch die Auflösung der Architektur? Wie bewegen wir uns heute in der Vielzahl dieser Schalen, wobei der Körper die Grundlage jeder Erfahrung bleibt? Im Projekt sollte die sinnliche Dimension der Erfahrung Ausgangspunkt darstellen für zu produzierende Installationen, Interfaces, Performances, Objekte, Displays oder Videos.

[[eng]]l:
Abraham moles described the individual in a urban context embedded in shells with different reach, conditions and meanings. The inner shell is the body and the outside is the cosmos. The first step out of the body requires the construction of space: it becomes a location of unfolding and exchange. Space is what we share with others, what we occupy and differentiate from influences. Which are the influences on the body and how are we reacting to the dissolution of limits through contemporary media (internet, VR) and their spheres? How do we act within the multiplicity of these shells whereas the body remains the ultimate condition of every experience?
Within the project we want to take the sensual dimension of our experience as a starting point for installations, performances, videos, objects, displays and interfaces. The project addresses Master Students and offers a frame for self-organized and responsible development of artistic artifacts and the related discourse and exchange. Deliverable is an art or design project suitable for exhibition/presentation/performance.

'''BfA:'''

Das Projekt wendet sich an Bachelorstudierende bietet sowohl einem strukturierten Arbeitsverlauf wie auch selbstverantworteten, freien Projekten einen Ort der Diskussion und Auseinandersetzung. Über die Etappen Sammeln / Sortieren / Konzeptualisieren übt es prototypisch das Entwickeln von Projektideen ein. Im Projekt müssen in zweiwöchigem Rhythmus die entsprechenden Abgaben erfolgen.
Die Endabgabe besteht in einem Objekt/Werk, das sich zur Ausstellung/Vorführung/Aufführung eignet.

'''MfA:'''

Das Projekt wendet sich auch an Masterstudierende und bietet für selbstverantwortete, freie Projekte einen Ort der Diskussion und Auseinandersetzung. Der strukturierten Arbeitsweise der Bachelorstudierenden muss nicht gefolgt werden. Im Projekt soll ein Vortrag zum eigenen Thema entwickelt und gehalten werden. Die Abgabe besteht in einem Kunstprojekt, das sich zur Ausstellung/Vorführung/Aufführung eignet.

Das Projekt findet Dienstags, um 9.15 im DBL, Bauhausstrasse 9a statt
