Mina Boylu:

My project delves into questioning the essence of reality, emphasizing the influence of time. Time, often overlooked, stands as an unchangeable force shaping our world. I believe that reality is not fixed but a continuous creation within the confines of time. While we can't change the past or entirely control the present, our current actions influence the path we take into the future.

Within the tapestry of time lies a distinct void frozen in the seconds of the present. We might not fully sense this moment, but it's passed just seconds ago. Our experiences are threads woven into a larger narrative, shaped by split-second decisions made by every individual.

I would formed my project through the interplay of water, movement, light, and imagery. It aims to visually depict how time and reality are interconnected, exploring how our decisions and the world around us are entwined with time's flow.

This project seeks to explore how time shapes our perception of reality and how our actions, even in fleeting moments, contribute to the larger story of existence.

To explore the relationship between the perception of reality and our understanding of time through water :

Water, as a reflective surface : Utilize water like rivers or lakes to reflect the surrondings. Analyze how these reflections influence our perception of reality and our sense of time. Observe how the changing scenery is reflected in water can provoke reflections on how reality is mirrored and distorted.

Water, as a transformative nature : Explore water's ability to change form (solid, lquid and gas) and how these transitions might be linked to fluidity of time. This might be lead to think about the malleability of reality and how time, like water, can exist in various states.

The project module introduces into media that moderate the living and the digital. We look into environments in their diverse natures, and how various actors live in them, network and relate to each other. The aim is to develop interfaces, methods and practices that enable such communication between different actors. The project addresses both questions of craftsmanship in the use of sensors as well as the performative use of media as an enactment of a writing of history and culture of technologies. In the end, our physicality is and remains the central point of orientation and the measure of reference and evaluation. Subjectivity - experienced as artistic expression - remains an essential measure for artefacts in the making. But addressing the subjectivity of the other person also means taking their interests into account and planning for them.

On this basis we want to thematize ideological questions that arise from the narratives of performance with media and how these can be brought into a non-violent relation and strategy to and in the present.

The project expects participants to conceive and elaborate a self-defined work, but also offers numerous literature and digressions on the topic.

Students are expected to be able and willing to work in a self-organized manner and to actively engage in the discourses of the module.

A prerequisite is prior enrollment in a specialized module with the co-workers of GMU or the Interface Design Professorship.

An accompanying course of the modules of the professorship is recommended.

GMU:Maps, Territories and Possibility Spaces

2023-06-11T09:32:44Z

Mina Boylu: /* Syllabus - Presentations */

[[File:mapsterritoriespossibilityspaces.jpg|640px]]

''The map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness. — Alfred Korzybski, Science and Sanity, p. 58.

Maps and territories contrast two manifestations of space: there are inner mental maps that are subject to the logic of our brain and the functioning of neurons. And there is a territory outside. It shows causalities with which we live and act unquestioned and validate with formulas.
Possibility spaces are a rather new promise. The term comes from mathematics and describes all states of a system, which in our case is described by sensor data and spatial coordinates. The humanities have assigned great power and vision to these spaces: described by Foucault as utopias, virtual spaces are now places of rich life under entirely new conditions.
The project deals with questions of craftsmanship in working with space with the help of sensors as well as with the technological history and constitution of space. In the end, our corporality is and remains the central point of orientation and the measure of reference.
It will also be examined how philosophical questions, which in the end ask how utopias become visions and how these can be brought into a non-violent relation and strategy to and in the present.

The project expects the participants to conceive and elaborate a self-defined work, but also offers numerous literature and excursions on the topic.

Part of the project is a field trip to [http://schieferpark.de/ Schieferpark] /Thüringen as an intensive working retreat in early June (5.6. until 9.6.).
The specialized modules of the professorship are recommended for technical assistance.

----

Karten und Territoren stellen zwei Raummanifestationen gegenüber: da gibt es innere mentale Räume, die der Logik unseres Gehirns und der Funktionsweise der Neuronen unterliegen. Und es gibt ein Territorium draussen, das Kausalitäten aufweist, mit denen wir ungefragt leben und handeln.
Möglichkeitsräume sind ein eher neues Versprechen. Der Term kommt aus der Mathematik und beschreibt alle Zustände eines Systems, das in unserem Fall durch Sensordaten und Raumkoordinaten beschrieben wird. Die Geistesgeschichte weisst diesen Räumen eine große Kraft und Vision zu: von Foucault als Utopien beschrieben, sind virtuelle Räume mittlerweile Orte von reichhaltigem Leben unter ganz neuen Bedingungen.

Im Projekt geht es sowohl um handwerkliche Fragen im Arbeiten mit Raum unter zur Hilfenahme von Sensoren wie auch um die technologische Geschichte und Verfaßtheit von Raum. Dabei ist und bleibt letztendlich unsere Körperlichkeit zentraler Orientierungspunkt und Maßgabe der Referenz.
Es soll auch untersucht werden, wie weltanschauliche Fragestellungen, die letztendlich danach fragen, wie aus Utopien Visionen werden und wie diese in eine gewaltfreie Relation und Strategie zur und in die Gegenwart gebracht werden können.

Das Projekt erwartet von den Teilnehmern die Konzeption und Ausarbeitung eines selbstdefinierten Werkes, bietet aber auch zahlreiche Literatur und Exkurse zum Thema.

Bestandteil des Projektes ist eine Exkursion in den [http://schieferpark.de/ Schieferpark] als intensivem Arbeitsretreat Anfang Juni (5. - 9. Juni).
Empfohlen werden die Fachmodule der Professur zur technischen Hilfestellung.

Karten und Territoren stellen zwei Raummanifestationen gegenüber: da gibt es innere mentale Räume, die der Logik unseres Gehirns und der Funktionsweise der Neuronen unterliegen. Und es gibt ein Territorium draussen, das Kausalitäten aufweist, mit denen wir ungefragt leben und handeln.
Möglichkeitsräume sind ein eher neues Versprechen. Der Term kommt aus der Mathematik und beschreibt alle Zustände eines Systems, das in unserem Fall durch Sensordaten und Raumkoordinaten beschrieben wird. Die Geistesgeschichte weisst diesen Räumen eine große Kraft und Vision zu: von Foucault als Utopien beschrieben, sind virtuelle Räume mittlerweile Orte von reichhaltigem Leben unter ganz neuen Bedingungen.

Im Projekt geht es sowohl um handwerkliche Fragen im Arbeiten mit Raum unter zur Hilfenahme von Sensoren wie auch um die technologische Geschichte und Verfaßtheit von Raum. Dabei ist und bleibt letztendlich unsere Körperlichkeit zentraler Orientierungspunkt und Maßgabe der Referenz.
Es soll auch untersucht werden, wie weltanschauliche Fragestellungen, die letztendlich danach fragen, wie aus Utopien Visionen werden und wie diese in eine gewaltfreie Relation und Strategie zur und in die Gegenwart gebracht werden können.

Das Projekt erwartet von den Teilnehmern die Konzeption und Ausarbeitung eines selbstdefinierten Werkes, bietet aber auch zahlreiche Literatur und Exkurse zum Thema.

Bestandteil des Projektes ist eine Exkursion in den [http://schieferpark.de/ Schieferpark] als intensivem Arbeitsretreat Anfang Juni (5. - 9. Juni).

''The map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness. — Alfred Korzybski, Science and Sanity, p. 58.

Maps and territories contrast two manifestations of space: there are inner mental maps that are subject to the logic of our brain and the functioning of neurons. And there is a territory outside. It shows causalities with which we live and act unquestioned and validate with formulas.
Possibility spaces are a rather new promise. The term comes from mathematics and describes all states of a system, which in our case is described by sensor data and spatial coordinates. The humanities have assigned great power and vision to these spaces: described by Foucault as utopias, virtual spaces are now places of rich life under entirely new conditions.
The project deals with questions of craftsmanship in working with space with the help of sensors as well as with the technological history and constitution of space. In the end, our corporality is and remains the central point of orientation and the measure of reference.
It will also be examined how philosophical questions, which in the end ask how utopias become visions and how these can be brought into a non-violent relation and strategy to and in the present.

The project expects the participants to conceive and elaborate a self-defined work, but also offers numerous literature and excursions on the topic.

GMU:Maps, Territories and Possibility Spaces

2023-05-17T07:33:30Z

Mina Boylu: /* Syllabus - Presentations */

''The map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness. — Alfred Korzybski, Science and Sanity, p. 58.

Maps and territories contrast two manifestations of space: there are inner mental maps that are subject to the logic of our brain and the functioning of neurons. And there is a territory outside. It shows causalities with which we live and act unquestioned and validate with formulas.
Possibility spaces are a rather new promise. The term comes from mathematics and describes all states of a system, which in our case is described by sensor data and spatial coordinates. The humanities have assigned great power and vision to these spaces: described by Foucault as utopias, virtual spaces are now places of rich life under entirely new conditions.
The project deals with questions of craftsmanship in working with space with the help of sensors as well as with the technological history and constitution of space. In the end, our corporality is and remains the central point of orientation and the measure of reference.
It will also be examined how philosophical questions, which in the end ask how utopias become visions and how these can be brought into a non-violent relation and strategy to and in the present.

The project expects the participants to conceive and elaborate a self-defined work, but also offers numerous literature and excursions on the topic.

Part of the project is a field trip to [http://schieferpark.de/ Schieferpark] /Thüringen as an intensive working retreat in early June (5.6. until 9.6.).
The specialized modules of the professorship are recommended for technical assistance.

Karten und Territoren stellen zwei Raummanifestationen gegenüber: da gibt es innere mentale Räume, die der Logik unseres Gehirns und der Funktionsweise der Neuronen unterliegen. Und es gibt ein Territorium draussen, das Kausalitäten aufweist, mit denen wir ungefragt leben und handeln.
Möglichkeitsräume sind ein eher neues Versprechen. Der Term kommt aus der Mathematik und beschreibt alle Zustände eines Systems, das in unserem Fall durch Sensordaten und Raumkoordinaten beschrieben wird. Die Geistesgeschichte weisst diesen Räumen eine große Kraft und Vision zu: von Foucault als Utopien beschrieben, sind virtuelle Räume mittlerweile Orte von reichhaltigem Leben unter ganz neuen Bedingungen.

Im Projekt geht es sowohl um handwerkliche Fragen im Arbeiten mit Raum unter zur Hilfenahme von Sensoren wie auch um die technologische Geschichte und Verfaßtheit von Raum. Dabei ist und bleibt letztendlich unsere Körperlichkeit zentraler Orientierungspunkt und Maßgabe der Referenz.
Es soll auch untersucht werden, wie weltanschauliche Fragestellungen, die letztendlich danach fragen, wie aus Utopien Visionen werden und wie diese in eine gewaltfreie Relation und Strategie zur und in die Gegenwart gebracht werden können.

Das Projekt erwartet von den Teilnehmern die Konzeption und Ausarbeitung eines selbstdefinierten Werkes, bietet aber auch zahlreiche Literatur und Exkurse zum Thema.

Bestandteil des Projektes ist eine Exkursion in den [http://schieferpark.de/ Schieferpark] als intensivem Arbeitsretreat Anfang Juni (5. - 9. Juni).
Empfohlen werden die Fachmodule der Professur zur technischen Hilfestellung.
