State of Matter
The need to grasp phenomena in order to address technical and ecological challenges increasingly exceeds the limits of human perception. The dimensions have shifted: from textiles to semiconductors to proteins, from physical to digital interactions. At the same time, global developments such as climate change and the loss of biodiversity are stretching beyond our familiar scales of space and time.
As these shifts unfold, complexity increases and access to appropriate tools becomes more and more challenging. The State of Matter series uses material analogies to cultivate attentive observation and to create access to processes that take place beyond our immediate perception. In this way, a continuous interplay emerges between abstraction, hands-on experience, action, and reflection.
