Research Questions
In the working group Laboratory the individual dissertation projects were given a room for exchange. The shared use of the working group was initially in interest in the translation work between laboratory and society. In this working group we examined the “transport paths”, the reciprocity and the interspaces that appear even in transdisciplinary research processes. Beyond that the term “laboratory” was examined in research material (texts, bodies, images, sourcecode/software, machines, etc.), focusing on answering the questions:
1. What is a laboratory? 2. Where is it located? 3. What is done there? 4. How does it work?
Processes of abstraction and the meaning of materiality, bodiless, and body constructions became the content we examined in terms of the theory we developed. Further we worked closely on our own research material on these topics.
