Bauhaus and Digital Culture: MEET Milano Launches Video Series
MEET, the international center for digital culture in Milan, has launched a video series titled 'Bauhaus: l’edificio del futuro' exploring connections between the Bauhaus movement and digital culture. The series begins with four video 'pills' featuring philosopher and design historian Aldo Colonetti, who curated the 2019 exhibition 'Bauhaus 100: imparare, fare, pensare' in Macerata. The initiative coincides with Ursula von der Leyen's proposal for a 'New European Bauhaus' to address contemporary challenges like the pandemic, digitalization, and climate change. The Bauhaus school, founded by Walter Gropius, emphasized interdisciplinary teamwork and the fusion of medieval craft guilds with industrial production techniques. MEET, active in Milan since 2018, seeks to highlight shared roots between Bauhaus principles and digital culture.
