DEMENTIA. ARTS. SOCIETY
Exhibition
2019/01/9–28
AIL – Angewandte Innovation Lab, Franz-Josefs-Kai 3, 1010 Wien
How can we meet the challenges posed by our aging societies through applying strategies of art and design and artistic research?
This question lies at the heart of the research project Dementia.Arts.Society. (D.A.S.). The exhibition of the same name is presenting results and insights gained in the last three years of research. We aim to grow positive awareness of dementia, and to develop tools and strategies that might ease the lives of people with dementia and their caregivers.
Opening 2019/01/08, 7—10 pm
A diverse range of workshops is offered as part of the exhibition. Both people with and without dementia are invited to join synergies, connect and find a common language of understanding and togetherness.
Team:
Ruth Mateus-Berr, Cornelia Bast, Elisabeth Haid, Pia Scharler, Christina Carli, Tatia Skhirtladze

LEBENSWELTEN
VIENNA DESIGN WEEK – Stadtarbeit 2017
30 September – 8 October | 1150 Vienna
 Design in general makes our world more beautiful and more functional. This is especially true of social design. It addresses social issues and analyses them. It promotes knowledge sharing and challenges its public. By means of an open call a jury of experts selected five projects from the field of social design that show outstanding creative qualities and potential in their social aspects. Intensive and unconventional in their presentation form, the projects of the Stadtarbeit format show how design can generate alternatives in our daily life together.
LEBENSWELTEN is part of the artistic research project Dementia. Arts. Society. (D.A.S.). The project offers new approaches to the topic of dementia and, with different participatory workshops and interactions in the public space, raises public awareness for the lifeworlds of people with dementia.
From 30 September until 8 October 2017 Dementia Arts Society will track synergies and connections between people with and without dementia in the 15th district of Vienna.

Tree of Potential
Revealing interests, passions and desires.
For people with and without dementia.
Workshop within STATUS QUO | 7, 20 and 21 October 2016 mit Cornelia Bast
We all possess abilities, passions and interests, but people suffering from dementia do not explore their potential fully, if at all. The tree of potential offers the basis for the creative act, raising abilities, interests and passions from within, making them visible and augmenting them with desires and needs.
The mutual presentation of the individual potential paves the way for possibilities: Personal contact with people from a diverse range of backgrounds within society can mark the beginning of a new network surrounding people with dementia.

Archive of Disarray – aren’t we all a little confused sometimes?
We are all familiar with moments of confusion and disorientation, no matter what age we are.
What images of confusion and its counterpart can we identify? In this workshop we will visualise, examine, discuss and collect mixed-up algorithms and their opposites. Images will be brought from mind to paper and these images of disarray will be collected, discussed and exhibited. Finally, pattern-recognition programs (Morphing, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning) will allow us to identify similarities.
