'''SWITCH ME'''

we are surrounded by lovely non-human actors. but we don't see them for what they are. maybe listening to them can be a first step toward a new relationality with them. thus I present: '''SWITCH ME'''. a project which aims to lend an ear to everyday sounds often deemed ''unpleasant'', ''stressful'' or outright ''noisy''.

CONCEPTION

It all started with my beloved BOSCH mixer which was a Christmas gift by my grandparents. Since then it has a evolved into a trusty companion in the adventures of cooking and culinary experiments. Though through all this, its sounds have proved to place an uneasiness on me. I asked myself:

What about it makes me feel this way? Is its sound truly distressing? Or was I raised to view it that way?

Thus began a time of active listening to my mixer.

Turning it on and off, just for the sake of it. Playing with its buttons to feel the sounds come alive. I wanted to share this experience with others.

During summaery, I put the sound piece on display in the garden of Bauhausstraße 15. There, it was dangling freely, suspended from a tree branch. Visitors were free to put on the headphones on their own terms, to navigate the sounds of all those non-human actors.

''Lecturer:'' [[Christian Doeller]]

''Credits:'' 6 [[ECTS]], 4 [[SWS]]

''Times:'' Thursday 13:30 - 16:30

''Venue:'' Digital Bauhaus Lab, Performance Platform

''First meeting:'' April 18, 13:30

[[File:EmbodimentToolkit-header.jpg|thumb|1081x1081px]]

Description:

How can we physically immerse ourselves in the non-human protagonists in our environment? How can we approach otherness and develop empathy, what tools do we need and what can we learn about ourselves in the process?

The seminar "Embodiment Toolkit" is an immersive experiment in which we ourselves become the test objects: we re-enact the role of the Other. The goals of our performative research process are a change of perspective and the exploration of new spaces of experience.

Our starting point are non-human beings, things and technologies from our everyday environment. We explore different speculative strategies to closely observe, describe and systematically analyze these role models. Ultimately, we translate our assumptions into simple guidelines for performative exercises and role plays, which we carry out and evaluate together in the group. We either only act within the limits of our own physiological capabilities or with the help of interactive tools from the world of DIY electronics.

Our weekly meetings mainly consist of performative experiments outside the seminar room; here we attempt to swap roles, and test, document and discuss our ideas and prototypes. On the other hand, we engage with related artistic and theoretical positions. We will get in touch with individual ideas and approaches, for example from the fields of systems theory, embodiment, media- and performance art. The course ultimately aims at the independent conception of interactive performative exercises, which will be carried out together with visitors during the upcoming Summaery exhibition.

This course is open to programming enthusiasts, system thinkers, data collectors and anyone who likes to move, observe, be outdoors and create something together. You do not need to be a performer or extrovert to participate. Requirements for participation: Regular attendance, short presentation on a topic of your choice, conception of a performative exercise, upload of documentation to the GMU media wiki. Open to all disciplines and semesters, no prior knowledge necessary.

Registration by Sunday (April 7) via e-mail, subject "Embodiment Toolkit", with a short letter of motivation (3-4 sentences) to christian.doeller@uni-weimar.de.
