A School for Design Fiction<\/em><\/p>\n

A school for design fiction was convened on 8 November, 2013 at Gallery for Contemporary Art, Leipzig. This itinerant school employs the curious genre of \u2018design fiction\u2019 to assert storytelling as the primary function of design, assuming that every artefact has the potential to express the character of the culture that produced it. This publication documents and expands on the founding of the school through a series of imagined scenarios. These include a drama at the printer for architect Augustus Pugin in 1836, the history of the universe as observed on an English hillside in 1937, the first human trial of split brain surgery in California in 1961, and a Scottish speech synthesis studio in 2013.<\/p>\n

Eine \u201eSchule f\u00fcr Design Fiction\u201d wurde am 8. November 2013 in der Galerie f\u00fcr Zeitgen\u00f6ssische Kunst Leipzig gegr\u00fcndet. Diese wandernde Schule besch\u00e4ftigt sich mit dem obskuren Genre der \u201eDesign Fiction\u201d: Geschichtenerz\u00e4hlen wird hier als die Hauptaufgabe von Gestaltung angesehen und zwar unter der Pr\u00e4misse, dass jeder Artefakt das Potential hat, etwas \u00fcber die Kultur auszudr\u00fccken, in der er produziert wurde. Das Buch dokumentiert und erweitert die Schulgr\u00fcndung durch eine Serie im\u00e4gin\u00e4rer Szenarien: ein Drama, das der Architekt Augustus Pugin mit einem Buchdrucker 1836 erlebt, die Geschichte des Universums von einem englischen Berghang aus im Jahr 1937 betrachtet, die erste neuchirurgische Split-Brain-Operation an einem Patienten in Kalifornien<\/p>\n
