Rhapsodische Maschinen
Der Entwurfsprozess als archäologische Methode.
Master Thesis  \ Multimedia installation  \ Artistic ResearchThis thesis constructs a rhapsodic machine. It does so by giving its fragments a body by interconnecting. Rather than creating a rhizomatic assemblage, it develops an Gerät (apparatus).
The Gerät serves as the foundation of a Entwurfsprozess (design process), which centers around the following two programmatic and poetic questions:
- Is it feasible to excavate oneself?
- How will we manage to unearth the things we dream(ed) of?
The questions are self-reflective. The design process should create Denkbilder (mental images) in order to clarify and elucidate the Standpunkt (standpoint) of an artistic research.
The written part of the thesis
The written text, along with the objects designed in relation to it, is considered part of the artistic practice.
