Constructions of Spatial Perception
On October 8 and 9, the conference Spot On: #SpatialPractice took place at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart (Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart). As part of the conference, I conducted a workshop entitled Constructions of Spatial Perception (Raumwahrnehmungskonstruktionen), in which we explored the following questions and themes:
What if there were more than just three spatial dimensions? What if we could see inside and outside simultaneously? What if space suddenly became imaginable in entirely new ways?
Reflecting on additional spatial and geometric dimensions invites us to critically examine how imaging technologies and media interfaces for exploring space expand, shape, and transform human perception.
In the workshop, selected artworks addressing the theme of N-dimensionality, alongside references to virtual and digital concepts of space, such as the Metaverse, served as starting points for playful and experimental explorations. Participants were invited to create their own constructions of spatial perception.
Many thanks to the conference team and all participants!
