How to be modern today?

Today, we live in an era that still identifies itself in terms of Modernism, as post-Modernist or even post-post-Modernist. Modernism was not conceived as a style but a loose collection of ideas. Being modern is constantly rethinking "utopian notions“.

Activity: Modern Matters – An Experiment in Data Visualisation

Track: Modern Talking
Date: Day 1 – 16:00
Location: Neufert-Mansion, Gelmeroda

Daring and joyful, the spirit of the Bauhaus is characterised by experimentation, collaboration and play. Taking Wassily Kandinsky’s ‘Triangle, Square, Circle: A Psychological Test’ as a focal point, participants will decode a collaborative visual manifesto through a few steps of collective making. Participants will use a 7-bit binary code to represent their chosen word. Each letter will be assigned with their selected shapes for 0 and 1, also they will colour each in with primary colour that each shape seemed to suggest.  It will be an interactive drop-in session and last one hour. After the session, the inputs will turn into a visual representation of participatory manifestation and will be exhibited during the summit.
