Algorithmic Ecologies at ZK/U

Data, Drips + Flows of Rainwater

A two-day event to deepen our understanding of rainwater
and rainfall patterns through artistic urban installations. The collaborative event aims to co-design rainwater installations and allow participants to explore the potential of open source soft- and hardware as critical design tools for shaping urban spaces.

Bringing together students from the Freie Universität, the Technische Universität and the University of Arts in Berlin, as well as the ZK/U community and local citizens, the event aims to collaboratively co-design rainwater installations that will be showcased on the platform of the former cargo station in Moabit. By incorporating sensors, data translations and visualisations, and interactive experiences, participants will explore the potential of open source soft- and hardware as critical design tools for shaping urban spaces.

Project partners: FU Berlin (metaLAB), UdK Berlin (Berlin Open Lab + Weizenbaum Institute), TU Berlin (Einstein Center Digital Future), ZK/U Berlin – Center for Art and Urbanistics.
