Tunnel Bingo

Witten/Herdecke University and artist Julie C. Stamm are transforming the campus forecourt into a walk-in playing field. Interested citizens are invited to take part in this so-called "tunnel bingo".

For the game, the artist mixes data from different sources - such as historical maps and dance movement notations - in such a way that their origin is no longer clearly recognisable. Participants experience the consequences of training an artificial intelligence with data sets whose origin is not clearly traceable and which could be distorted, outdated, incomplete or prejudiced. In this way, the game combines a view of today's digital challenges with historical, local structures.

Equipped with a smartphone and digital playing cards, players embark on an extraordinary exploration tour. After the game, they can share their personal impressions and reflect on how data gaps arise in everyday life. They then transfer what they have experienced to health research: How and why do data gaps arise there? What opportunities do digital and artistic approaches offer for new perspectives and what solutions can be derived from them?

The artistic action thus builds a bridge to the thematic focus of the Summer School GENESIS-DH (Gender Equity in Clinical Studis through Innovations and Solutions in Digital Health), which will take place at the UW/H from 16 - 18 September 2025.

Prerequisites: To take part in the game, participants need a smartphone and must scan a QR code. Detailed information is available on site. Participation is free of charge. A short informal registration by e-mail to theresa.busse@uni-wh.de is requested. Further information can be found in the news.
