The flight path of a fruit fly
conducted by Gabriele Sturm, june 03-06 2009
OUTLINE
In the workshop students are asked to analyze single fruits as well as corresponding package material. Through this approach they will eventually develop a spatial understanding of actual transport systems certain goods follow until they reach final points of sale. At the same time they will discover their own personal reading and prejudiced thinking of various fruits as they produce individual representations of their study objects. Since most travelling food products can be literally traced along existing routes of traffic, the workshop challenges students to transform exterior urban spaces into interior spaces of perception and analysis by means of complex mapping und iconographic notation.
