This series of workshops and immersive participatory performances offers an opportunity to engage with the embodied and fluid essence of tracing lines and being traced by them. »More-than-human sketching« repurposes an emerging digital design tool—3D drawing—to delve into the collections of the KGM through collective acts of spatial sketching. Building upon the ongoing work of the Speculative Realities Lab (ExC Matters of Activity / Charité), participants in the workshops will collaboratively develop new scores for interactive augmented reality tours. Attendees received an introduction to 3D sketching and then enacted the scores to immerse themselves in the crafting processes embedded within the collection objects, embracing these active perspectives. In doing so, they metaphorically became mycelium threads, absorbing the essence of object shapes (Movement I), and weaving intricate networks of meaning (Movement II).
Sketching has long symbolized the mark of the designerly knowing. At the heart of the modern creative process lies a mysterious act, somewhat elusive to the maker’s intentions: when hand, paper, and idea converge, an instinctual digestion of spatial knowledge occurs through quasi-conscious gestures. Like the agile tendrils of mycelium networks navigating their environment, these lines embrace forms, making sense of their relationships. Within the museum’s space, small groups of visitors, equipped with augmented reality headsets, will be invited to engage in 3D sketching following a score inspired by design research, graphic anthropology, and the neurobiology of fungi. We aim to immerse visitors in the collections of the KGM through the luminous movement of digital lines, repurposing contemporary immersive design technology as a means of mediation.
