UN-LABORATORY FOR TRANSDISCIPLINARITY


In the context of huge upscaling of human activity on earth the rise of technoscience and the increasing necessity to find ways of survival are transdiciplinary.  They have to prove mobility between different sets of knowledge.
As measuring and modeling expands to the large universe it appears that rational representations of the world encounter some resistance to map all aspects of existence in the cosmos.
This workshop will be a tentative  to create a transdiciplinary map of potentials


In front of this situation we consider It is essential when we build intense workshops and short events to not build them as restrictionist solution to large problems, we do limit the event in time place and intensity of the relation, but we claim that the workshop experience is a completude in  itself, includes all  complexity of the relation and becomes a selfsustainable while it also leads to larger transformations as it  focuses on the relation and on specific processes.



FUNDAMENTALS:
 *CHANGING PERSPECTIVE
Narrowing the focus leads to an encouter between the idea and its realization The LABORATORY FOR TRANSDISCIPLINARITY should focus on organizing effective link The LABORATORY FOR TRANSDISCIPLINARITY will embedits action local communities, starting from an overview of
 * INCLUDE DIVERSITY
When engaging workshops with different participants and stakeholders (citizens, industrials, civil servants, researchers, individual entrepreneurs,etc..) the variety of perspective sometime become as many locks to the materialization of a product as they convey the focus on as many points 
 * INCLUDE POSSIBLE ACCESS TO EVERY LARGESSE OF THE WORLD
Scarcity is an illusion maintained by actual system this un-laboratory will start from the premice that every ressource is available and the only necessity to create a resilient structure is to nurture it. Therefore the workshop will aim to create nurturing possibilities.
 *CONFRONTATION
Start by addressing contradictions accept that different perspective sit at the table in order to understand the nature of the relation 
 *CLARIFY RELATIONS 
Express their qualities by different creative means


TOOLS
*Summarize available means
*Create both irrational and rational spaces working on the same perspective 
*Get  out of the laboratory
* Address issues of scale in reproduction in actual scientific and social laboratories.
*A format that would include collective exchange as a start but also formal  presentation leading participant to geta feelingof their own  bias.
*No methodolog y
*Propose a series of creative tools at hand: video, data, gesture and position experiments relational experiments via speech recording, feedback. DEVELOP TOOLS AND THEIR USES
