Mobile Livingroom

The way I live tells something about myself. The way we live tells something about our neighborhood, our city, and our society.
missingdots is on the road in Dresden with the Mobile Livingroom in the scope of the project PEOPLE LIVING. The Living-Collective is available for you with the real estate agent and the interior designer: you design your own living space and position yourself in it in the greenscreen studio. Afterwards, the Living-Collective missing dots puts you into your designed living space.
In parallel, the interactive website FORMATOR Transformer of ordinary inputs starts. In a virtual space, you can upload, collect, swap, edit and transform pictures, sounds or texts. From private insights to political visions – everyone is invited to participate and to observe what happen with one’s own contributions over time.
Visit the Mobile Livingroom and become a part of the FORMATOR community with your own designed living room, or visit FORMATOR Transformer of ordinary inputs directly.
Analogue and digital results will be shown publicly in December in Dresden in the regions Prohlis and Weißer Hirsch.

FORMATOR Transformer of ordinary inputs

FORMATOR – development of a digital platform for participation in creatively research and transformation processes

The goal of the research platform FORMATOR Transformer of ordinary inputs is that people with different backgrounds contribute to research and transformation processes, and to inspire them for the further development of a production. The FORMATOR will be designed as a website where everyone can easily upload snapshots, short texts, sound or video clips based on a task The input will then be assembled into a new clear and visually appealing overall picture, a poetical cross over of people, lifestyles, social backgrounds and life plans. The topic of our pilot project is living. People from Dresden will be invited to upload material according to a task and to creatively transform the material. Parallel to that we will be present in the public space with out Mobile Office for Real Affectivities to come together in conversation with people in the analog way.  On the digital platform, the artistic team will transform the material. Following the research phase, there will be a scenic performative intervention in the public space.
The FORMATOR Transformer of ordinary inputs is developed to use it for new projects in the future with different topics.

ARK Dresden – ark for underrated knowledge

missingdots is cooperation partner for ARK Dresden – ark for underrated knowledge as part of the community-art-project MOVING BORDERS HELLERAU Europäisches Zentrum der Künste, Quarantine Manchester and six further European partners.

What should be saved when the water is rising? What things, but also knowledge, abilities and what individual information may not be lost?

We ask different people and communities. Some people, who grew up in DDR, studied, worked and raised a family there, and whose knowledge and experience was not needed anymore after the fall of the Berlin Wall. These experiences are also shared by those who have recently arrived in Dresden, who had to leave their homes due to war, terror, poverty and other existential threats. They also had to leave knowledge and experience, as well as other people and things. We want to collect that knowledge and experiences and make it visible, so that it will not be lost.

Based on the concept by the British collective Quarantine, seven cities across Europe develop visions and realisations around the topic ‘ark’. In Dresden, the ark will be developed at the the bank of the river Elbe, a place that is many visit and share. Located between Johannstadt and Neustadt, around the ferry terminal ‘Johanna’, a public place for meetings and experience exchange, for workshops and conversations will emerge. Performative interventions for an interested audience will take place on the on the ferry ‘Johanna’.

Mobile office for real affectivities

The temperature of the neighborhoods will be measured!

We will be biking through Dresden and go to different neighborhoods, set up our mobile office for real affectivities and collect moods, desires, needs and experiences: they’re going to be pinned, typed, pipetted and stapled.  The results will be part of our next production Transitraum and will be shown in September 2020 at the Societaetstheater Dresden. Also, the audience will meet the mobile office for real affectivities there.

We will be on the road in June, July and August.
