Örbn – Zwischenzeit
As an organization, örbn strives to promote social engagement between citizens. We accomplish this by thinking, designing, creating, and building, with the aspiration of inspiring others to do the same.
Realizing the common trend to replace our physical existence with a digital life, we created this organization with the goal of combating this action by inspiring people to think critically about the world around them.
The project Zwischenzeit strives to separate individuals from their habits of social isolation in public spaces. It attempts to put them in situations where they have the opportunity to engage with others or to simply enjoy an aspect of their day that would otherwise be insignificant.
We chose public transportation stations due to the high frequency of this isolating behavior in this environment. In particular, the stations between the current location of Zhdk and its new location at the Toni-Areal would give us an opportunity to express our roots and provide our customers with an idea of where this project is coming from. With this line we will also have the opportunity to promote the arts within Zürich by offering discounted tickets to the galleries at the Toni-Areal and the Museum Für Gestaltung. Citizens and visitors can engage with the installations by embossing a card at each station and saving it for a discount at one of the galleries.
