Cryptography can make information inaccessible. Not a physical key, but knowledge represents the path to decoding. The spacial expression of cryptography is a labyrinth. Daidalos, the mythical first architect, constructed a labyrinth which not even he himself was able to decode. How do knowledge and space correspond and interact, when cryptography not just encodes, but also decodes these connections? To encode space means to open it to the ones familiar with it and to close it for strangers.
How can geometric coding techniques veil spacial connections, mislead human perception and reverse inside and outside? We want to experience what it means to create a labyrinth.
In the frame of design studios workshops on scripting and form finding methods and on robotic with Arduino will be offered. For students who want to improve their skills in scripting and Arduino beyond the workshops we offer conceptual and technical support. Previous knowledge is welcomed, however not mandatory.
