Creating games that are played at home is one thing, but how can we facilitate play outside of the own four walls – especially in exhibition settings? Coming together to play is fundamentally human.

Why do crises of care, ecological destruction, racial injustice, and threats to democracy so often appear together? What might their connections tell us about the organisation of contemporary society? This seminar takes Nancy Fraser’s Cannibal Capitalism (2022) as its central reading. Fraser argues that capitalist accumulation depends on—and simultaneously undermines—the social, ecological, and political conditions that sustain it. Her expanded… 2026W/2027S, scientific seminar, 4.0 ECTS

City of Bits Our cities are complex systems that interconnect social, economic, political, cultural, and infrastructural elements.

Seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs hat es nie eine Epoche gegeben, die dermaßen „politisiert“ gewesen wäre, wie die derzeitige. Das liegt an einer weltweiten krisenhaften Problemlage, in der niemand genau wissen kann, was denn das Richtige wäre, um „die Probleme zu lösen.“Diese relative Orientierungslosigkeit führt paradoxerweise zu einer Verschärfung, zu einer Intensivierung der Überzeugungen. Je weniger sicher man über… 2026W, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS
