Co-produced with designer & Social worker, Roberto Pérez Gayo
Orientation can be understood as a mutually constitutive process and a metastable relationship between space and the body. This workshop seeks to explore this double configuration both physically as well as abstractly by thinking-feeling physically as well as abstractly by thinking-feeling in terms of degrees and intensities about [self]perception ~ action ~ direction.
By physicalising and enacting research along with these coordinates, SD Masters students were offered a set of conceptual and methodological entry points that will enable them to inquire into the relationship of design with systems of power through processes of [self]orientation.
What does it mean to be oriented?
What are the mechanisms by which we orient our individual and social selves?
What implications does orientation have for how the social is arranged and how this space is negotiated?
How are bodies and subjectivities affected and shaped by their immediate surroundings?
