Description
Technologies that affect our bodies have changed massively over the course of the 20th century, influencing the way we perceive our bodies. From smart watches and glasses to glowing or vibrating garments, we are already moving towards the “smart skin”. But what functions do we actually want in the future from technologies that come very close to our bodies? What role can they play in our everyday lives?
Together, we want to speculate on possible and impossible future scenarios and design fictional wearables that can support us in various situations.
The workshop will be run by Anna Blumenkranz and Jennifer Keusgen. The number of participants is limited. If you wish to reserve a place, please register at buchung@pinakothek.de. Possible workshop languages: German, English.
Art education program accompanying the special exhibition „Future Bodies from a Recent Past"
The intergenerational drop-in format Open Factory provides a great framework to allow you to get creative with the whole family or with friends, just as the mood takes you. Different techniques and topics inspire varied artistic pursuits and strolls through the exhibitions. Whether drawing, painting, working with different printing techniques, dancing; whether analog, digital or hybrid, we will whisk you away to the world of colors and shapes, and appeal to your imagination and creative spirit.
The art education program accompanying the special exhibition “Future Bodies from a Recent Past” was developed as part of “dive in. Programme for Digital Interactions” of the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation) with funding by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) through the NEUSTART KULTUR programme.
The program was also generously supported by PIN. Freunde der Pinakothek der Moderne e.V.
