A Space of Active Imagination/Intuition

Abstract

At the philosophical symposium “Media Philosophy”, I would like to emphasize the necessity of a conscious, active, direct, but sustainable, creative relationship with nature and ideas. The innate connection between human beings, nature, and the cosmos is compromised by immersion in a virtual web of information and applications, and by the technical apparatus, targeted by the scientific and technological discourse of civilization. Through active imagination, intuitive action based on experience, it is necessary to turn to simple, renewable sources of matter and energy. With a more concrete participation, we allow a deeper immersion in the process itself and the benefits of its experience. With my own example, I would like to symbolically point out, but also open the space for thought and action. Coffee, hand ground and brewed at the symposium site will be served in handmade ceramic sculptures/cups. The gathering of participants and drinking coffee together at the Philosophical Symposium will create a space for Poets, Philosophers, Artists, and Intuitives with an active imagination.
