Course detail
The Map and the Territory
FaVU-2MAUAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course takes as a starting point the assumption of media ecology, according to which we are all permanent spectators and performers today. As the interpretation of the relationship between the map and the territory has changed in history, it will be shown that the traditional relationship to reality as something that can only be known and represented is no longer sustainable, and that the task and opportunity of the 21st century is to create in the broadest sense of the word.
