Abstract

Art, design and technology as an antidote to issues of serious and careful social interest such as the pandemic. "When treating human life support as issues of interest, we stack interests on interests, we pack, that is, we insert humans into an increasing number of elements carefully explained, protected, conserved and maintained (immunology is , for Sloterdijk, the great philosophy of biology). " (LATOUR, 2014) Executive summary of the proposal Due to the rapid advance of COVID-19 on Brazilian soil, specifically in the Federal District, we propose the use of transdisciplinarity of knowledge, aligning art, design and technoscience to create a workshop on the state of the art of do-it-yourself. This plural thinking has been encouraged and developed within the scope of the Media Lab / UnB, which integrates the Media Lab / BR network, composed of the following laboratories: Media Lab / UnB; Media Lab / UFG, Media Lab / UAM; and Media Lab / PUC-Campinas. The pandemic is a reality, the high infectious rate of the virus has led Brasília to be the fourth city in the country most affected by contamination. Staying at home is one of the measures, however, it is necessary to think, create measures and tools, so as, as the virus advances exponentially, also, actively fight it minimizing the socio-cultural and economic damages that are also already A reality. This project is in compliance and intends to work together with the Brasília Greater than Covid-19 Movement, from the University Hospital of Brasília (HUB), 3D Open Lab / UnB and Pop Rua / DF with thematic workshops for problem solving from the perspective of art superimposed by the technoscientific instruments of design and technology.
