In this course, students will work with STRÜKTÜR, a Berlin-based non-profit organisation, on their project ‘The Rehearsal The Playbook’, which explores the intersections of populism, authoritarianism and design. Students will explore how design influences political ideologies, particularly in the context of growing populism, and how it can be used as a tool of resistance. Through input sessions and practice-orientated work, students will co-design various aspects of the project. A particular focus will be on organising an event and producing a publication that reflects the artistic, activist and scientific dimensions of the project. This experience offers students the opportunity to explore how design can challenge authoritarian narratives and promote collective action. Join this course to gain valuable insights into the role of design in post-factual societies, including topics such as deep fakes, algorithms, social echo chambers and the emotive economy.

In diesem Kurs arbeiten die Studierenden mit STRÜKTÜR, einem in Berlin ansässigen Verein, an dessen Projekt "The Rehearsal The Playbook", das die Schnittstellen von Populismus, Autoritarismus und Design untersucht. Die Studierenden werden erforschen, wie Design politische Ideologien beeinflusst, insbesondere im Kontext des wachsenden Populismus, und wie es als Werkzeug des Widerstands eingesetzt werden kann. Durch Input-Sitzungen und praxisorientierte Arbeit werden die Studierenden verschiedene Aspekte des Projekts mitgestalten. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf der Organisation einer Veranstaltung und der Produktion einer Publikation, die die künstlerische, aktivistische und wissenschaftliche Dimension des Projekts widerspiegelt. Diese Erfahrung bietet den Studierenden die Möglichkeit, zu erkunden, wie Design autoritäre Narrative herausfordern und kollektives Handeln fördern kann. Nehmt an diesem Seminar teil, um wertvolle Einblicke in die Rolle des Designs in postfaktischen Gesellschaften zu gewinnen, einschließlich Themen wie Deep Fakes, Algorithmen, soziale Echokammern und die emotive Ökonomie.
