In these dialogue we try to bring in the questions and experiences arising in the context of our work. Luna Maurer is a designer and artist working in the field of digital media. Andreas Zangger is historian of science and of transnational networks.
The work of Luna Maurer serves as a bracket for the dialogue.
The dialogues are inspired by the idea of conditional design that is at the centre of Luna Maurer's work. They are based on chats on Skype. There were rules for the chat, e.g. we had to wait for an answer. The speed of the chat was thus utterly reduced. Afterwards they were edited and grouped by topics. Each of the dialogues has a general topic: the first deals with the relationship of humans and machines, the second on designing system and the idea of constraints and freedom in the process, and the third about users and the intelligence of the crowd. Some of the mentioned projects of Luna Maurer are presented separately.
