architecture tm.09: DEEP NORTH - EMERGENCY CAMP
For the digital nomads of today, the cultural agents of globalisation, raumtaktik is converting the House of World Cultures into such a camp. Outside and inside. Inclusion and exclusion. The camp will function as an informal settlement. The principle of parasitic action will determine the process of occupying space. In a constructive process, spaces will be created with varying densities - movable elements, ice floes, icebreakers.
The camp will be built out of objects found in our (climate-change generating) consumer and industrial society. Waste, reject and surplus items, special offers. Temporary things, textiles, improvised objects. With its spatial structure, the building will assume the function of exhibition architecture forming a landscape of wood, tarpaulin, acrylic multiwall sheets, ropes and other materials, in which the individual artworks of transmediale.09 will be exhibited. Practical uses will also be found for elements from past exhibitions at the House of World Cultures and other venues; the festival will recycle them and put them to new use in the emergency camp.
