Hans-Jörg Rheinberger: Speaking from the Laboratory
Both scientific exploration as knowledge generators and artistic practice as aesthetic contingency derive their power from unexpected gestures that challenge and reshape initial expectations. A result that might seem to fail does not end the process but becomes a point of reorientation that opens new avenues and connects the future to non anticipation and to a sense of wonder.
If educators embrace this dynamic they can reconceive learning as a living experiment that invites strategic interruptions and continual development. Mistakes and surprises are seen as generative resources that fuel curiosity and support adaptive meaning making rather than bringing things to closure.
When these principles are woven into educational design learners can build resilience and creative agency by working in processes that reflect real world inquiry. In this way classrooms turn into experimental spaces of shared discovery where the ability to navigate uncertainty becomes a central skill.
