- The Reconstruction of the Sanctorian Chair
"The Italian doctor Sanctorius Sanctorius quantified humans in the seventeenth century with a special scale; his challenges were similar to those of today's fitness junkies."
TU Intern Magazin reports on Research Scholar Teresa Hollerbach's exhibition at Wissensstadt Berlin 2021 (Knowledge City Berlin 2021), "Self-Tracking in the Seventeenth Century." Teresa and colleagues exhibited the Sanctorian Chair—a reconstructed balance from the seventeenth century—at the main open air exhibition at Berlin's "Rote Rathaus" on August 7, 2021.
