Lucie Kolb and Eva Weinmayr in conversation with The Rewrite
In a conversation, the working group The Rewrite (Johannes Bruder, Lucie Kolb, Karolina Sobecka, Solveig Suess), gives an insight into their ongoing project at the Critical Media Lab FHNW Academy of Art and Design working towards learning tools fostering dialogue and action on urgent global challenges. The conversation took place in the framework of the artistic research and education project «Teaching the Radical Catalogue: A Syllabus 2021–22», which investigates the process of information retrieval as a political project (syllabus.radicalcatalogue.net).
The Rewrite Collaborative Framework is a digital learning framework built around annotation as a collective practice, aimed to support collaborative reading, writing and meaning-negotiation practices as enabling dialogue and action on urgent global challenges. The learning framework is designed with student participation and developed in the context of course focusing on the topics of civics and climate change, paired with technology and media practices that mirror and underpin processes in those spheres. Through workshops, teaching formats, and open courseware documentation, the digital learning framework aims to reach beyond the classroom, to build a growing community of learners, readers and publics interested in tackling environmental, social, and political issues.
