20.–21.6.²⁴ more–than–human sketching2@kgm the knitting of crafted things: digitizing worlds in textile networks

This series of workshops and immersive participatory performances offers an opportunity to engage with the embodied and fluid essence of tracing lines and being traced by them.

»More-than-human sketching« repurposes an emerging digital design tool—3D drawing—to delve into the collections of the KGM through collective acts of spatial sketching. Building upon the ongoing work of the Speculative Realities Lab (ExC Matters of Activity / Charité), participants in the workshops will collaboratively develop new scores for interactive augmented reality tours.

Attendees will receive an introduction to 3D sketching and then enact the scores to immerse themselves in the crafting processes embedded within the collection objects, embracing these active perspectives. In doing so, they will metaphorically become mycelium threads, absorbing the essence of object shapes (Movement I), and weaving intricate networks of meaning (Movement II).

The central question is: How can we reshape our perception of crafting as the more-than-handiwork of more-than-human makers?

workshop

Inspired by the recording technology of the quipu, an ancient Andean method for encoding knowledge through textiles, artist and designer Nayeli Vega will guide us through various perspectives on understanding the objects within the collections as knots and networks of information. The SpecLab, affiliated with the Department of Neurosurgery at Charité in Berlin, will demonstrate how neurosurgeons navigate the complexities of the brain using maps of knots and streamlines. Imagine if we could map and weave insights gleaned from the creation of museum objects into textile-like diagrams. Using 3D sketching tools and drawing from the intricate informational structures of the quipu and the brain, we will invite museum visitors to explore spatial methods of encoding movement and understanding.”
