3rd Lecture 2016 »Our own Styl«

We need to find our own “style” to produce an Existential Notation and therewith – step by step – the sum of our being; of our movements, thoughts and experiences as a structural net of recursive iterations.

2nd Lecture 2016 »Constitution of Intentionality«

The aim of our work on drawing is both creating art and with it, getting a deeper knowledge about our working on all kinds of Existential Notation which includes the knowledge about the conditions of making art and design and the use of these in our social reality.

1st Lecture 2016 »The Intentional Space of Drawing«

„Because we are in the world, we are condemned to meaning, and we cannot do or say anything without its acquiring a name in history.“ Maurice Merleau-Ponty

8th Lecture 2015/2016 »Deformation of Inter-Position«

During the last lectures we have learned that every work of art or design can be read as a “text”, that the “text” with its correlation of text/fragment and texture/volume builds an Inter-Position. As an Inter-Position of History, we describe a Inter-Position as a score which gives us advice for our actions. With this knowledge now we have to think about: What the aim of the given Inter-Position? What do we believe, in which position are we standing? What do we want to achieve and therefore what transformation has to be accomplished?
