Bodies interact with their surroundings. We learn through bodily experiences. ‘Anthropomorphe Form’, an installation that responds to people’s movement through space, draws upon such embodied learning to forge a collective. ‘Tactiles’ similarly uses shared performative experiences to unlearn pre-ordained spatial codes and activate an intuitive process of re-learning.

Embodied experience appeals to different senses. ‘The stool called WALDE’ demonstrates how tacit knowledge is acquired through touch – by direct physical engagement with furniture and its production – while ‘Invisible Elastic Structure’ activates our sense of sight: observing the leaf, we gain insight into its structural and aesthetic behaviour.

Capturing, transmitting or even evoking embodied tacit knowledge is challenging. ‘55°42’14.8”N 12°33’18.4”E’ does so through film, ‘Ulrich Mahler’s Exkursionszettel Wagbachniederung’ uses a map, and ‘Infra-thin Magick’ proposes a performative extended reality model to activate our senses.
