speculative objects – Speculative Objects
with Merle Genc
Merle Genc is an industrial designer and futurologist. She insists that she is neither a philosopher nor an expert in constructivism, but she brings us a fascinating experiment she developed that shows us in a playful way how we perceive and create our world.
After she was already able to test her prototype within a philosophical workshop, we are very honored to be the second station to present this event and experiment in world creation.
“How do we perceive the world around us? And do we perceive it at all, or do we create it ourselves?
Whatever the answer, we humans cannot help but assign meaning to the things that surround us. For us, a pencil is more than just a stick with a grey interior: it can be a writing utensil, but also a small kleptomaniac satisfaction in a furniture store.
It becomes even more exciting when we look at things that don't (yet) exist. Because the way we attribute objects reflects our view of the world."
Merle Genc, April 2024
With excursions into conceivable futures, Merle takes you into the spheres of world creation that we normally only experience unconsciously.
