zusammen.kommen

Pluralising the «us»

Conversations and discussions, both private and public, are characterised by polarisation. It is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with content and opinions that do not correspond to one’s own. This is reinforced by algorithms that favour polarising content and by the tendency to rate statements that correspond to one’s own world view as more likely to be true.
«zusammen.kommen» («coming.together») explores how collaborative design processes can create rituals in which exchanges about different attitudes and realities of life can bring about cohesion instead of isolation.
