Hardware-Hacking war einst die Domäne von Ingenieuren, ist heute jedoch ein grundlegendes Werkzeug in der Medienkunst und Designpraxis. Mikrocomputer sind zugänglicher denn je. Ursprünglich für Hobbyisten entwickelt, sind sie… 2026S, Vorlesung und Übungen, 2.0 ECTS

Lowood & R. Guins (Eds.), Debugging Game History: A Critical Lexicon. (pp. 297–304). MIT Press) This course aims to reflects on strategies to approach, research, evaluate, create and define experimental game mechanics… 2025W/2026S, wissenschaftliches Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

Our starting point will be the thesis that the play experience is a phenomenon of afterwardsness (Nachträglichkeit). We will investigate the different expression this idea finds in gaming culture and discuss questions such as:… 2025W/2026S, Konversatorium, 8.0 ECTS

In diesem Semester werden wir in die weite Welt der urbanen und pervasiven Spiele eintauchen. In Wien gibt es über 225 Wohnstraßen: Straßen, in denen das Spielen auf der Straße offiziell erlaubt ist.

Zwei davon sind die Bäckerstraße und die Sonnenfelsgasse im ersten… 2025W/2026S, wissenschaftliches Seminar, 2.0 ECTS

PLAY THINGS The creation of LUDIC OBJECTS, "playthings" as artistic artefacts are at the heart of EXPERIMENTAL GAME CULTURES and thus core to the central artistic subject of the program. Starting from Josia Reichardts Play Orbit we connect to the Uncanny Valley of robotic toys and AI companions. Phygital toys (combining the physical with the digital) can prompt creative play… 2025W/2026S, Künstl. Einzelunterricht, 8.0 ECTS
