Practical Fridays was a workshop series, founded and coordinated by artist Philip Matesic from 2013 until 2019. The series expanded practically on Theory Tuesdays, a nonacademic platform for theoretical discussion. Instead of discussing a theoretical text, participants had a hands-on, collective experience of learning something practical from a non-professional. Each workshop was run by a different person at various locations in Zurich, Switzerland.

This Practical Fridays workshop took place in Dan Krusi’s attic, where he built and installed a fully featured two-seat cockpit and flight simulator. There was a short introduction to flight theory, followed by a practical landing attempt, flown by participants in the cockpit of his homemade simulator.
