This online publication assembles the results and outcomes of the multi-disciplinary and long-term project “Dealing with Fear,” undertaken by Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart within the years 2007 to 2009.

The idea was to trigger a debate that would not necessarily provide efficient answers to practical questions, but create a space for reflection whose results could give insight into various understandings of the term “fear” and the idea of “dealing with fear.” The project comprised two international symposia, a group exhibition, and the so called 52-hour-lab, a weekend full of performances, workshops, one-on-one meetings, etc. dedicated to analyzing, discussing, articulating the different variations, languages, and expressions of fear. The cross-disciplinary exploration involved current and former Solitude fellows, jurors of the institution, and guests—all specialists in various fields of the arts, humanities, sciences, and the business world. During the process of artistic practice, scientific research, and the common dialog on the notion of fear, the view on the central topic turned from a cultural and historic perspective on threat and fear as Angst or Furcht into a positive understanding of fear in terms of productivity for change and attempts to shape the future. “Dealing with Fear” was initiated as a central topic by Solitude’s jury chairperson Philip Ursprung, who we cordially thank for this stimulating impulse. The theme provoked a collective activity and with this documentation we invite all interested people to share the multi-faceted outcome.

This Taipei Metropolitan Rapid Transit (MRT) Map, Ver.12.31 *1 (external link shows ver.12.4) as pictured above, was found on the internet. Without going into a discussion on the implementation of urban transformation, or the conflicts that did and will continue to arise as construction progresses, this blueprint representing something from the future made a huge impact on me as I went about preparing resources for "playaround09 - Tech Nomads Soundscape Workshop."  It represented a gigantic interactive symphonic soundscape, with somewhere between 6 and 9 million2 performers and audience members *2.  The song is not yet completed and is of an unknown length, but we are in the middle of the best part of the song which ought to be savored, slowly. ...
