SEMESTER TOPIC: MAPPING & SPACES

In this course we will discuss different artistic projects working with "mapping" as both visual and cognitive approach and strategy. The first part of the course provides theoretical input and group discussions around the research-based method of "mapping", in the second part students will develop their own cross-disciplinary project. 

This semester we will collaborate with the seminar "Künstlerische Projektarbeit Fotografie / Artistic projectwork photography"  and work together on three schedulded days. (https://base.uni-ak.ac.at/courses/2023S/S03176/).

The dates for the class in June will be discussed in the first class.

CDPW II gives students an insight in selected methodologies in the conception and realisation of cross-discplinary group projects expanded by theoretical inputs, practical exercises, applied discussions, field excursions, and studio visits. 

In the course students will conceive, develop, and realize cross-disciplinary projects which approach the grand global challenges from the research-based method of mapping. Dealing with selected inputs they will learn what it needs to integrate artistic, scientific, and transdisciplinary strategies in a project and how to work together with students from another department. 

Examination and grading is based on the following parameters:

- Mandatory attendance at all classes and activities (a successful completion requires at least 80%)

- Active participation during class

- Realising a cross-disciplinary project

- Self-assessment

- A final paper (group work)
