Listen to the Lectures: Audio-Files and Podcast

"Listen to the Lectures" contains all of Tomaso Carnetto's lectures: Formative Design, Design History, Coincidental Aesthetics, and Lectures from the Sacred Field, which form a bracket around all the lectures. Each podcast episode summarizes the main thoughts and arguments of the respective lectures.

Tomaso Carnetto regularly gives lectures at the Academy of Visual Arts, Frankfurt, as well as at other universities and individual events.

The podcast is aimed at students and, more generally, anyone interested in the tension between design, art and politics.

The different lecture series are united by one claim:

"Designing the 21st century!”

Is it even possible? How can it be done? Or is it already too late?

The questions are to be understood as a poetic provocation ("Be sure to believe that words and poetry it can change the world", Walt Whitman), so the questions will be examined accordingly from the perspective of individual authorship and collective performance.

The themes will be deconstructed along the triad of aesthetics, ethics, and socio-political action. A triad that involuntarily corresponds to contemporary positions in art, philosophy, and the will to let togetherness come true.
