It would provide a strong Protestant alliance that worked in his favor. Philip of Hesse, the landgrave, also had political aims in desiring the colloquy. Luther, for his part, was highly skeptical of the colloquy specifically because of its political underpinnings. Perhaps more important for Zwingli was the great political advantage to having Luther and his followers on his side. Zwingli did not see this as church-divisive, though. He disagreed with Luther that Jesus is present with His true body and blood in the Lord’s Supper, believing it to be a mere memorial meal. Why the meeting, though, if there was no chance for agreement? For Zwingli there was room for compromise. Even so, the Marburg Colloquy took place October 1-4, 1529 at Marburg Castle, Hesse, Germany. In what came to be known as the Great Controversy, it was clear that Luther and Zwingli could not come to agreement on this doctrinal issue. Even before the meeting at Marburg, Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli had each written forcefully against the position of the other regarding whether the true body of Jesus Christ was present in the Lord’s Supper. The installation goes live in May 2018.The lines were already drawn. This massive effort involves 3D CAD models of all the components, tech specs of motors and lights and electronics, and management of the fabrication and assembly of the whole installation. With student work as a foundation, our Master Fabricator TJ McLeish has specified dimensions, structure, and operation and has built the full-scale replica. In IxD Studio II: IoT & Prototyping, students constructe a 1/6-scale model of the original (see images below). This makes possible the recreation of the dynamic interactions as Pask designed them in 1968 as well as the invitation to students to explore what the newest technologies in 2018ĬCS students have mined the historical materials on The Colloquy and built a repository of understanding to share with the world. Students in IxD Studio IV: Immersive Interactive Experiences created a detailed script of how the mobiles interact, a necessary step before coding the Colloquy’s 1968 interactions. While the physical form is as close as possible to the 1968 original, it is driven by modern digital software, sensors, and motors. In celebration of the 50th anniversary, a full-scale version of Pask’s COLLOQUY OF MOBILES has been replicated, approximately 10’ by 12’ in floor area and stretching from floor to ceiling. It has never before been reproduced and the project has garnered attention and support from communities in the arts, media, design, and education. Frequently praised for its originality and influence, Pask’s COLLOQUY is a precursor to practices of contemporary art and design, as well as a prescient vision of our future with machines that may choose to act on their own.Ĭolloquy of Mobiles has influenced generations of artists and critics concerned with the role of technology in everyday life. Yes, 50 years ago in 1968 - an exploration of machine-to-machine and person-to-machine conversations in an interactive, immersive environment, perhaps the first of its kind. This was Gordon Pask’s COLLOQUY OF MOBILES at the Institute for Contemporary Art in London, part of an exhibition called Cybernetic Serendipity in 1968. You walk among them, blocking their interactions, using a flashlight to attract their attention, wanting to get in on their conversation. Imagine walking into a gallery and seeing these larger-than-life mobiles hanging from the ceiling - they rotate, blink, squawk, and sometimes synchronize with each other, completely without human intervention.
