As constant evolution drives both the production and consumption of new electronic devices, mountains of so-called “e-waste” are growing at the same rate. What some might consider obsolete technology or even trash has the potential to be an artistic playground full of nostalgia and free resources. This course is designed for both artists and designers with or without prior technological… 2025W, Vorlesung und Übungen, 2.0 ECTS

Conventional game mechanics can be described as “rule-based methods for agency in the gameworld, designed for overcoming challenges in non-trivial ways.” (Sicart, M. A. (2016a). Mechanics. In H. 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

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. Die Realität sieht jedoch etwas düsterer aus: Die meisten dieser Wohnstraßen unterscheiden sich nicht von normalen Straßen. 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
