BAUHAUS ORBITS visualises the discursive practices established at the Weimar Bauhaus.Drawing on crucial publications from the school which stood for its very existence, the project applies algorithmic techniques which analyse concepts put forth by thinkers such as Gropius, Moholy-Nagy and Klee. Elements of discourse formation (than that of artistic creation, as laid out by Moholy-Nagy in "Von Material zu Architektur") are bought into processes of algorithmic systematization; and are connected in the form of orbiting trajectories. It intends to direct the eyes of spectators into the world of a cautiously defined ‘Bauhaus discourse’, in which an inside-outside, senses and intellect, digitalization and arts form an experiential unity. How we define a historical as well as contemporary “Bauhaus Discourse” is considered a central question to be answered. We see that despite numerous efforts to reanimate contemporary discourse around the historical pedagogy, methodology or masters’ oeuvre, we most often find ourselves caught between contradictory wishes to preserve an intact past and to make sense of a resolutely Avant-Garde spirit. In the face of countless endeavours set around the jubilee, bringing Discourse Analysis and the Bauhaus together could teach us: what counts as a “Bauhaus” topic today? What needs to be demystified? Which aspects of the Bauhaus allow us to rethink it in continuum? In which episteme are such topics and statements situated?
