Ideal Spaces News Update: January 7

Podcasts

With Khalid Kadir, lecturer for Political Economics at University of Berkeley/California, we had a podcast about the position of the individual Self in recent economic and political contexts. In this context, restrictions on the individual self-understanding had been addressed, as well as its manipulation by powerful economic and political actors.

With Karo Godles, an international artist active in set design, scenography and modern art forms, we will have a podcast about the present and future forms of art under the influence of AI, and its effects on artist creativity. Which is important for the work of Ideal Spaces in regards to the creation of sceneries and their atmospheres.

Blog

We are in the process of constructing an Ideal Spaces blog on relevant themes for our core topic, the relations between space and people in society. Amongst others, this includes the role of architecture for communities and society today, the political and socioeconomic environment in its effects on housing on a world-wide scale, freedom of thought and the role of art today and in the near future, and the disconnection of the Self from the outer world.
