Nature as a medium, inspiration, input. It is part of us and it is becoming more and more important to protect it and us. But we can only protect what we know and love. Smiths are invited to experience and analyze nature's connections and networks and to bring them into the forging world. Starting with the communication between the plants and the experience of hugging a tree, there is a lot to discover and learn.

Kerstin Hruza, visual artist and budding forest educator and Sophie Birkmayer, designer and nature lover will offer mindfulness walks in small groups as input and set various impulses. Every walk is attributed to a meaning. We only focus on this sense and feel, see, smell, hear and taste the forest, and we work with the results of these experiences. 

We bring nature into Schmiede and transform the premises into an experience for the senses. Everything is allowed. A cross-media room installation is scheduled for the course of the 10 days

Smiths sind eingeladen die Natur, ihre Verbindungen und Netzwerke zu erleben und zu analysieren und diese in die Schmiede Welt einzubringen. Angefangen von der Kommunikation der Pflanzen untereinander, bis hin zu dem Erlebnis einen Baum zu umarmen, es gibt viel zu entdecken und zu erlernen.

We are happy to announce a fresh lab at Schmiede. Focusing on interdiscipline research between sound and textiles.  The Process was initiated in Hintersee between Gertrud Fischbacher and Marius Schebella at ORTung19 (ORTung). It quickly developed into a Mozarteum and FH Salzburg cooperation that lead to winning the Research Competition Mozarteum award in 2019 and now they are coming to Schmiede20. 

The Textile and Sound Lab will challenge Smiths to work on the combination of Textile and Sound. Possible connections between these two domains can be all kinds of transformation processes, mappings between textures and sounds, applying textile work processes to music composition, thinking about concepts like space, loops, transparency, etc. in either domain. Or play with the sound that is created when weaving, knitting, bobbin making, processing plastic, etc. as threads and yarns rustle or rub when sliding through materials, hands, spools or needles. 

Think about knitting, which not only forms textile areas, but also is a repetitive action and creates a constant rhythm (and is also relaxing). Or think of the many examples how textile controllers can be used to generate musical parameters in live performances.

There are plenty of ideas to explore that could eventually lead to a new understanding of either domain (textile/sound) or lead to new ways of artistic expression in their combination.

The Graz based non-profit organization accomplices takes action to create a series of interventions at Schmiede 2020 and invites Smiths to participate in analogue marvels. Lab leaders filmmaker Eni Brandner, illustrator Clara Frühwirth, and classically trained singer Kristina Gorke, show you their ventures and step out of their comfort zone in order to explore new territory at Schmiede.

As a continuation of last Schmiede`s Voice Lab, La Gorke proposes a Breath Lab as well as encounters with human anatomy and physiology in the lecture series Hello Magical Instrument Human Body. In Voice Lab Two Point Ohh singing shall occur.

The Analogue Accomplices Lab offers a closer look at works of accomplished illustrator Clara Frühwirth.

In her Persistence of Vision Lab, Eni Mation Brandner invites willing subjects to stop their motions for the creation of animated images, the results of which shall serve as an accompaniment to the grand performance of Madame La Gorke and as general amusement throughout the duration of Schmiede 2020. There might be some burlesque too, depending on temperatures and temperament.

The snowboarding family is currently hiking. But they are neither finished with Hallein nor their Ames Room. So they will be back not for better but horse. Get ready for a continuously growing playful group of enthusiasts that do not want to chose sides but walk and ride their path.

Schmiede20: Horses September 16th - 25th SchmiedeApplication - deadline May 31st

Kathie, Lilo and Mac have been with Schmiede ever since 2005 and Schmiede would not be the same without adhocrates and their approach of not dividing family, play and work.  

At Schmiede20 expect anything to happen that will involve kids, as one of the lab’s goals is to show that we can include children of all ages into our lives as creatives.

The adhocLab is an initiative of the adhocrates collective and more specifically: Lilo Krebernik, Kathi Macheiner, Mac Krebernik

Die snowboarding family wandert derzeit. Aber sie sind weder mit Hallein noch mit ihrem Ames-Raum fertig. Hoch zu Ross kehren sie 2020 zurück. Adhoc ist eine stetig wachsende spielerische Gruppe von Enthusiasten, die sich nicht für eine Seite entscheiden, sondern ihren Weg gehen, fahren und reiten werden.

Erwarten Sie bei Schmiede20, dass alles passiert, was Kinder betrifft. Eines der Ziele des Labors ist es zu zeigen, dass wir Kinder jeden Alters als Kreative in unser Leben einbeziehen können.

Labs are emerging for Schmiede20 and we will post in the days to come. As of today we assume that Schmiede20 will happen as scheduled but probably not as planned. It is still unclear how people will be allowed to travel etc.  So as of today we assume that we will have a smaller group of Smiths, probably mainly Smiths living in Austria and maybe Germany.  So 2020 will be the year to fill rooms. Large SmithProjects are very welcome. please contact us if you got proposals you want to discuss. Office AT schmiede DOT ca

We will inform as soon as there is some clarity. 

Till then please apply till Mai 31st so we can prepare for you. 

Schmiede20: Pferde / Horses September 16th - 25th Application till May 31st. www.schmiede.ca/apply

In case you want to hold a lab at Schmiede20: 

Schmiede the playground of ideas for peer2peer learning and prototyping is organised into labs.  A lab at Schmiede is therefore a focused/specialised Schmiede within Schmiede. In this logic Schmiede is the LabLab at Schmiede. Its LabLeaders are Rüdiger, Kerstin and Michi.

Labs at Schmiede are gathering points and islands of interest within Schmiede, bridging projects, labs and Smiths. A Lab can focus on anything of intereset to you, the lab leaders. Smiths with an understanding or strong focus on the content in question take action to create more. By creating a lab at Schmiede you open the door to bring together peers and support each other and your interest.

LabLeaders are Smiths Smiths can talk to if they need direction on how to approach a challenge or who to talk to with connection with the lab.

Depending on external partnerships and funds, labs can vary in size, services and complexity. Schmiede itself provides space and infrastructure at Schmiede and supports communications leading up to Schmiede.

There are labs that focus on a niche, interest or skill set. Another version is a project focused lab, which acts more like an open project development group or think/do tank. We assume there are many more possible versions.

LabLeaders do not have the obligation to solve or work on others’ problems or projects but should direct them to Smiths who can help. Honoring SchmiedeRuleOne: The autonomy of Smith must not be undermined.

LabLeaders’ priority is to create value for themselves and only as a secondary consideration for Schmiede.  Our point of view: The better a lab works for the LabLeaders the better it is for Schmiede. The better Schmiede is the better are the participating Smiths and the emerging labs.

Schmiede provides for Labs: # feature by Schmiede # defined space at Schmiede # supports communications leading up to Schmiede # supports visibility leading up to Schmiede # supports finding financial as well as infrastructural partners for labs # refund ApplicationProcessingFee for LabLeaders # refund food fee for LabLeaders

What Schmiede needs from the LabLeaders: # One LabLeader needs to be the primary contact person for the SchmiedeCoreTeam.   # Lab documentation (Format will depend on the lab, we will talk, don’t worry). This is more for the development of the Lab than for Schmiede, as we document the general process autonomously as well. However Lab documentations are very welcome and help the SchmiedeCoreTeam to understand Schmiede better.

Public: On day two of Schmiede we will host open LabPresentations.   Every Lab has the possibility to present themselves and their focus.

Internal: # LabLeaders intro meeting (probably on day one in the morning). # LabLeader feedback form and feedback meeting (probably via skype).

How to do a lab at Schmiede:

# Step one: A LabLeader needs a good understanding of  the SchmiedeContext. LabLeaders should be returning Smiths.

# Step two: Official labs at Schmiede must be accorded with Rüdiger, the early the better, and featured by Schmiede no later than May 20th (for visibility in the current SchmiedeApplicationProcess). It is the duty of the LabLeaders to provide the necessary materials to the SchmiedeCoreTeam in a timely manner (before May 10th).

# Step three: In order to “support finding financial as well as infrastructural partners for labs” we advice for early communications with Rüdiger. (Fall/Winter, no later than February).

Depending on external partnerships, funds and motivation, labs can vary in size, services and complexity. For example: Talks, Workshops etc are welcome, however Schmiede’s budget cannot financially support the initiative. So they can be held on a goodwill basis, ask a fee from workshop participants or have a financing partner. Schmiede is happy to facilitate and support the quest for this partner, however the initiative must come from the LabLeaders. These LabPartners can then be featured online as well as in our print program.  

There can be up to three official LabLeaders per lab at Schmiede.

Everyone needs to apply in order to participate at Schmiede. This includes LabLeaders as well as Kerstin, Rüdiger and Michi.
