the social space agency – SoSA – boldly goes where no one has gone before: into social outer space. through our self-developed techniques we analyse existing rules and conventions, alter them, or replace them with new ones altogether. for specific events socionauts prepare to tackle specific sets of conventions.
the socionautic approach is a fourfold one: recognise a convention (f.ex.: greeting by handshake). reshape it (f.ex.: use handshakes in the middle of a conversation or greet by elbowshake). use the new convention in everyday practice and see how it works. that’s why, unlike arts which is always directed towards an audience, socionautics is foremost directed towards the own approach towards the world and the interacting humans / objects.
socionautic materials
conceptual filter is the most basic SoSA technique. change the way you perceive and you will start to change the way you (inter)act.
the bernese proposal. an outcome of the Bern Mission wherein we proposed 5 things to the city of Bern. we sent it to various politicians and newspapers. upon its release we were contacted by the local city planners and invited to work on Stadtlabor Schützenmatte.
