The vegetable garden in the city is a utopia. Even your own home-grown and harvested cucumber does not meet the EU standard.

In this seminar we will study the tension between built phantasies and imagined facts using historical and contemporary examples.

Das Seminar behandelt das Spannungsfeld zwischen gebauten Phantasien und imaginierten Fakten anhand vielfältiger historischer und aktueller Beispiele.

We will discuss the states of utopia, their origins and their possibilities, also for our own artistic strategies. Furthermore we will focus on the idea of cyborgs and how they fit into our current state of thinking.

It’s all about the lateral drift!

Moving laterally in the field of knowledge, science, gardens and fiction.

Our guests at Science Kitchen will be Birgit Schneider and Luc Merx.
