“Critical Zones”: Developing concepts and approaches for grasping the New Climatic Regime (Bruno Latour), that is the transformations in the relations of humans to their “terrestrial” conditions of existence. – The seminar series of Bruno Latour at HfG analyses these transformations as epistemic breaks and shifts of knowledge by drawing an analogy to the scientific revolution in the 17th century, where, after a crisis of former sound knowledge, new epistemic systems, representations and narrations in art, science, and religion had to be constructed and reintegrated into new dispositifs of knowledge. The project tackles an important aesthetic question, which overpasses simple forms of illustration of knowledge: How central is the imaginary capacity of the arts in constructing representations and narrations that are depictions and “generators” of new knowledge systems and therefore vital means of cultural change?
The exhibition at HfG in November will display some preliminary results of the projects developed by the seminar participants. It presents an opportunity to discuss – in a mode of work-in-progress – research questions, aesthetic approaches and epistemic experiments with colleagues and students of HfG and ZKM.
Opening: Nov 7, 19:00; duration: Nov 8, 10:00-19:00, Nov 9, 10:00-15:00

On June 7th, the Colourful Night of Digitization, a festival to celebrate the diversity of perspectives and challenges on digitization that exists in Karlsruhe, will take place. This initiative opens the doors of more than 60 institutions (libraries, museums, universities, enterprises, civil initiatives) to the citizens of Karlsruhe to show and discuss diverse topics and approaches to digitality.
A poster divided in two parts: on the right there is a night view of a city, from above, with the city lights. On the left, The letters Bunte Nacht der Digitalisirung, #DigitalNachtka.

Das Werk stützt sich auf Theodor Rehbocks Buch von 1898, "Deutsch Südwestafrika. Seine wirtschaftliche Erschließung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Nutzbarmachung des Wassers", um die durch die Wissenschaft gerechtfertigte Ausbeutung zu untersuchen. Es verweist auch auf die Regulierung des Rheinflussbettes und die Standardisierung von Sprachen als weitere Folgen des "aufgeklärten Kolonialismus". Die Videoinstallation untersucht die Erzählungen wissenschaftlicher Erkundungen während der Kolonialzeit, eingebettet in einen futuristischen Kontext.

The work draws on Theodor Rehbock's 1898 book, "Deutsch Südwestafrika. Seine wirtschaftliche Erschließung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Nutzbarmachung des Wassers" ("German South West Africa: Its Economic Development with Special Consideration of the Utilization of Water") to examine the exploitation justified by science. It also references the regulation of the Rhine riverbed and the standardization of languages as further consequences of "enlightened colonialism." The video installation explores the narratives of scientific explorations during the colonial era, embedded in a futuristic context.
