Bits of the self


Marlies Pöschl proposes an artistic citizen science project that is based on a participatory process in collaboration with students. This project requires students to focus their attention on body tracking tools in connection with diet and energy. The aim is to invite young people to become acquainted with these technologies by doing their own research and to gain a better understanding of their bodies, while also calling into question the underlying norms. The creative and/or critical data visualisations created in the course of the project are to be the basis for the design of the glass surfaces in the entrance hall. The research carried out by the students will be documented on a project website. In addition, some of the visual materials will be used to design tableware for the school canteen.
