Cake and Vorspiel
a transmediale Vorspiel event, 21. January 2023
How can we help each other get on in this world? As we all know by now, human communication is complicated. As humans, at times we wanna open up and be more real with others but the opportunity rarely presents itself. And yet, communication is essential for our survival. So let’s practice this communication thing together this Saturday and enjoy some intimate conversations with strangers! Plus, there will be cake!
We will host two one-hour conversations* for six people at a time, at 5pm and 8pm. Each group will be presented with a series of questions, and the possibility to discuss with other curious humans things you love/hate, how you experience the world, hopes, dreams, and fears in regard to yourself, others, technology, society and beyond. You know, the easy stuff! It will be great opportunity to get to know new humans and potential new friends. The plan will be to be as open, thoughtful, playful, and as honest as we can be together, so please prepare yourselves! It will be lovely!
Cake and Vorspiel is a special event being brought to you by School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe and School of Humans as part of transmediale Vorspiel 2023 festivities.
School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe is an organisation born in 2014, dedicated to creating one-of-a-kind hands-on learning experiences at the intersection of art, technology, design, and human connection.
School of Humans, it’s sister organisation, is being brought into being with the idea that there are many important aspects of being human that should be explored which may have nothing at all to do with technology. It is dedicated to the imaginative and thoughtful exploration of humans and human experiences. We hope you’ll join us for this one! This is an in-person event at our home-base ACUD.
