Description

"Listen to the Lectures" contains all of Tomaso Carnetto's lectures: Formative Design, Design History, Coincidental Aesthetics, and Lectures from the Sacred Field, which form a bracket around all the lectures. Each podcast episode summarizes the main thoughts and arguments of the respective lectures.

Tomaso Carnetto regularly gives lectures at the Academy of Visual Arts, Frankfurt, as well as at other universities and individual events.

The podcast is aimed at students and, more generally, anyone interested in the tension between design, art and politics.

The different lecture series are united by one claim: "Designing the 21st century! Is it even possible? How can it be done? Or is it already too late?

The questions are to be understood as a poetic provocation ("Be sure to believe that words and poetry it can change the world", Walt Whitman), so the questions will be examined accordingly from the perspective of individual authorship and collective performance. The themes will be deconstructed along the triad of aesthetics, ethics, and socio-political action. A triad that involuntarily corresponds to contemporary positions in art, philosophy, and the will to let togetherness come true.

Since we took over responsibility for the Academy at the beginning of the winter semester 2007, we have been exploring the question of what it means to be or to become a designer in the 21st century.We are aware of the tradition in which we stand as a so-called author school in the field of design education, like the famous "Bauhaus" and later the "Ulmer Schule". "Author" is to be understood in the sense that the structure of the studies is not only defined by the individual responsibility of the directors, but also that the didactic concept is based much more on the professional experience of the directors and lecturers than on any given instructions on how to become a designer.
