Energy / Cross-Disciplinary Strategies Lab

Description

This academic year we will develop our yearly projects around the annual theme of energy. The CDCLab will be developed and run with the whole CDS faculty team, mainly in close coordination with the courses Intensification in Science and Technology by Fabian Fischer and Intensification in Economics and Politics by Sarah Hager. As we work on the year-long projects, individually or in groups, we will bring in knowledge from different CDS courses into the Lab and speculate on possible connections, entanglements, conflicts. Through various working, discussion formats and critical conversation we will analyze and draft new connections as well as develop proposals in different media of how cross-disciplinary practices might look like. Focus on one of CDS's study areas is expected and encouraged. The CDCLab is a safe space for experimentation and critical cross-generational theoretical and practical exchange. Students are encouraged and supported by faculty and visiting coaches from a variety of disciplines in developing independent, cross-disciplinary practice, whether individually or in teams, through the use of various media and forms of expression. More information about the CDCLab will be shared in the first meeting and can be found in the term card and the CDS handbook available on Base. Project support by Adnan Balcinovic, Christine Böhler, Aurianne Chevandier, Fabian Fischer, Sarah Hager, Andrea Schaffar & Astrid Wagner.
