the neture – series

street in plagwitz, 2004





Starting point for the neture – series was Jan Hendrik Brueggemeier’s master (German university diploma) project at the chair for Experimental Radio at the Bauhaus University in Weimar (2004) called: nEture

nEture was an artistic study of medial and architectural interventions in urban planning using the example of Leipzig-Plagwitz in Germany.

Intention was to initiate media practices in a neighbourhood context in times of shrinking common public life in a city. It aimed to demonstrate that this differs from the usual approach taken by local authorities wishing to improve the image of the city without heeding to the need for a vital communication, which is itself crucial if sustainable development is to be achieved.

The nEture catalogue is the documentation of the diploma project and contains a radio feature (89’50″) including interviews with artists, architects and theorists like

as well as sound design from Jan Hendrik Brueggemeier and pingfm.

nEture has been presented as side others at the Westend-Festival in Leipzig 2005.
