We asked the remaining people at the end of the workshop to shortly warp up, what they took from this workshop. We want to let this be the summary.
Grateful for the gathering and the possibility of exchange
There are many more connection between arts and science than thought before. He sees a lot of possibilities here!
Very fond of the idea of the new institute! Maybe connect arts and science from the beginning? This would mean working with their common basis, i.e. similarities and common needs. Find theory for institutions from the 70s/80s: Luhmann and Habermas. The arts free-scene he sees as successful in the last 30 years but now also institutionalized–why not merge with state institutions?
Very grateful for the term outreach!
Sees himself as a researcher because he doesn't know where his processes are going to (open outcome). However, actual researchers suffer a lot from having to clear goals and not being able to let things evolve freely. Fond of storytelling about the research process (example Einstein).
He is further very interested in a collaborative, open development process about new institutions with its own forms of effectiveness, creativity, diverse input, self-reflection, collective leadership models etc.; the society in Europe is still democratic and diverse enough to make something like that happen. [Markus: that's why such a thing must be political.]
He is also grateful for the PR term 'outreach', like 'picking an apple'
