Abstract

Dieser Vortrag ist Teil der Reihe Kunstpädagogische Positionen in Zusammenarbeit mit Prof. Dr. Konstanze Schütze (Institut für Kunst an der Pädagogischen Hochschule Karlsruhe) und fand am 14.05.25 im Raum 3.312, Gebäude 3 der Pädagogischen Hochschule Karlsruhe und online via Zoom statt.

This lecture presents the work of internet teapot, a Rotterdam-based collaboration between Karla Zavala Barreda and Adriaan Odendaal and their use of speculative and co-creative practices to engage various publics around pressing socio-technological and cultural issues. Through projects like the Algorithms of Late-Capitalism zine series and board game, they have developed a framework that uses humour, play, and co-creative practices to make critical academic research accessible to wider publics, while also empowering wider publics to participate in current discourses on technology. Through these processes, they aim to bring more diverse voices into the conversation about the role technology plays in our lives and society at large.

The questions raised by internet teapot, as well as their practice-oriented interventions offer a variety of starting points for innovative (arts & media) educational approaches and can serve as a prototype for more creative, experimental, and participatory pedagogies.
