In the ‘Dreamlab’, students of the Bachelor Process Design at the Institute Hyperwerk of the HGK Basel discuss topics at the intersection of society and design. kollektiv orangotango accompanied this process in a collective mapping workshop. In one week, a wide variety of maps were created: scratch cards with the promise of finding ‘Great Luck’ in the neighbourhood; a ‘Konsumat’ in which groups can map their collective consumption conscience; an installation that projects historical and current global entanglements of the campus space – formerly a duty-free warehouse; a mapping to reflect the one-and-a-half-year group process of the ‘Diciannove’ year at the Hyperwerk…
With the students we also discussed the work of kollektiv orangotango, the potential of transdisciplinary research and artistic strategies for critical scholarship and activism.
