LAST SPOTS for Role Playing Game and Conference

Footnotes: Annotating the Future of Arts Education

Hosted by School of Commons and 0ct0p0s in the framework of the FAST45 project, 28 AUGUST - 1 SEPTEMBER at Zürich University of the Arts (ZHdK)

Footnotes is a workshop, conference, and role-playing game unfurling in a speculative scenario set in 2045. It will take place from August 29 to September 1 at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and is organized by School of Commons and 0ct0p0s. Participants will assume a character to design and research future realities for arts education. No prior experience in role-playing is needed. Players can choose between seven groups, each exploring a specific theme:

DIS/CONTINUITIES (Digital Cultures of Education), ORGANOLOGY (Art and Society), CHAOS/MOSIS (Inter- and Transdisciplinarity), COMMONALITIES (Knowledge Commons), RE/PROGRAMMING (Institutional Structures and Strategies), SYMBIOSIS (Ecological and Social Sustainability), PLASTICITY (Institutional vs. Non-Institutional Education).
