Over the past two summers I had the privilege to co-teach experimental design courses, which not only yielded great projects, but also spawned stimulating discussions and discoveries with our students.
To document these kinds of journeys, Philipp @proff and i prepared #SyllabusSite, a template for rendering #Markdown files as scrollable one-pagers that gather readings, inspirations and results in a unique format:
In summer of 2022, Lamin Manneh and i held an experimental seminar that we called »Decolonizing Data Visualization – Visualizing Postcolonies«. In this course, we were particularly interested in the bidirectional engagement between #visualization and #decolonization: we wanted to ask critical questions about #DataVis, but also use the creative and communicative capacity of visualization to convey postcolonial issues:
Last year, Myriel Milicevic and i offered a nomadic course »Organigrams for/from the future« and visited ten organizations who shared insights about cooperative work practices. While #organigrams tend to represent traditional organizations, we explored how they could also stimulate our imagination. How would an economy built on solidarity, sustainability and survival look like?
