We’ve been told, cities are vibrant, full of offers and opportunities,
We’ve been told distance is the new cool, 
We’ve been told, households are the only valuable status, 
We’ve been told density is a liability. 

How do we recreate social density within social distancing in these times and spaces ? 

We escape the city, we dive in a sparse landscape,
We explore urban spheres far from density in compressed circumstances 
To densify, to spend an intense time at a distance 
While being locally interconnected 
Through public space, daily rituals
And residential separation.

Seminarseminar3.0 expands its working-sphere to a locally-distant non-excursion. The rules stay the same. Each participant is both teacher and student, decisions are made collectively within the group, responsibilities are shared. 

We want to explore the concept of density collectively. Being agents in a controlled environment, a small place, compressing time and space, using the format of a Blockseminar to help densify our thoughts and actions. Appropriating a Kiosk to become a social-space a few hours from Berlin, moving through a village that welcomes us to stay and experiment within its specific context and boundaries.
