In conjunction with the exhibition ”Obsessive Sensing” Sascha Pohflepp will talk about the intersection of the scale model and the real thing, how toys become technology and the other way around. How things oscillate between science fact and science fiction and how he and Chris Woebken have reflected this in two new projects: Elsewheres and The Society for Speculative Rocketry.
