FUNKEN Mesh marks the end of the Funken Kolleg. Over the past six months, participants from the arts, business and science have worked together on issues in the context of high technology. This retrospective looks at the lessons learnt from this cross-sector collaboration. Key moments were often the informal dialogue and the get-togethers on the fringes of the official.
This is taken as an opportunity to connect sparks with club cultures:
What enables collaboration between people, spaces and disciplines? How does it change perspectives - and what role does technology play in the contemporary design of collective spaces?
Experimental settings will be used to explore how communities are formed in spaces: There is space to move and dance, to receive art, participate, hang out and listen - and for everything in between ... and there's a bit of BUMBUM too.
