'Material Trajectories: Designing With Care?' turns towards material-driven design processes with the aim of relocating technoscientific trajectories. Concerned with new forms of caretaking, it combines positions from the extended fields of design research and humanities scholarship including practice-based approaches. The contributions explore current ecological conditions through multiple acts of making-with and seek to complicate questions of sustainability, livability, and cooperation. In reassessing the status quo in design and architecture as material practices, they provide outlines for a nuanced reading of these worldmaking processes and ask what different ways of designing with care and complicity might entail.

Anonymity-Sunset-Dance-Party provides a commentary on the essays "Anonymität Tanzen" by Paula Helm and "Crypto Parties" by Linda Monsee. It draws on Whitehead's metaphor of the sunset, as an event that defies the bifurcation of nature, and the empirical material from the two essays to suggest that anonymity practices do not merely obscure identity but radically affect and potentially broaden subject formations. In doing so, it speaks to a politics of anonymity that goes beyond questions of identification.

Simultaneously speculative and inspired by everyday experiences, this volume develops an aesthetics of metabolism that offers a new perspective on the human-environment relation, one that is processual, relational, and not dependent on conscious thought. In art installations, design prototypes, and research-creation projects that utilize air, light, or temperature to impact subjective experience the author finds aesthetic milieus that shift our awareness to the role of different sense modalities in aesthetic experience. Metabolic and atmospheric processes allow for an aesthetics besides and beyond the usually dominant visual sense.

Dieser Artikel setzt sich anhand konkreter Beispiele der Ausstellungspraxis mit kolonialen Darstellungsmuster in alltagskulturellen Museen auseinander.

This article starts from the analysis of Impressionism, Kazimir Malevich's abstractionism and Hélio Oiticica's penetráveis to think about the process of eliminating the edges of painting. Oiticica's thesis is that, at the moment in which she lived and acted, the painting began to do without the edges, spilling out of it and constituting itself as modus vivendi, thus eliminating the notion of an outside and one inside. With this, it defends the substitution of the spectator by the participant. We wonder if cinema, with its moving edges, is also touched by these changes. For that, we will take Cinema Novo and Cinema Marginal. Finally, we wonder if the school institution, as heir to these questions, has been inserted in this debate and what it has or would be its role. In this sense, the question remains about what to expect from this institution after the dilution of the picture (the great narratives, the modern certainties) and the historical vanguards.
