Sunday Stroll with Florian
On the 'Sunday Stroll 'of 29 November, detour Guide Florian van Zandwijk will show us around the 'Lithium' exhibition from his perspective as designer. How dependent are we on a fully charged battery - in our phones, and also in ourselves? And what happens to our mood when we keep on mirroring technology?
29 November 2020 14:00 - 15:00
_Lithium_ is an exhibition investigating the element that is a major source of energy for society - and ourselves. Conceived as a spa resort (revitalising lithium spas were all the rage in the 19th century), it highlights the benevolent and destructive elements of the eternal human search for energy. Researchers, designers and artists offer their perspectives on an urgent question: how often can we recharge our batteries without addressing the causes of depletion, in both ourselves and the planet?
Taking his fascination for culture and technology as his starting point, Florian works as a designer with a diversity of media, from written text to video essays and social media platforms. Through his work, he tries to dive deeply into current topics.
