The course is a hybrid, multi-media step into art and environment. Immersive Media & Virtual Reality is a workshop style investigation with environment, media, anthropocene writings at the core. This course explores the intersection of immersive media, spatial sound, and virtual environments, providing a foundation to expand your individual expertise and artistic research. With the development of the new Immersive Lab, equipped with 3D sound and immersive video, we will experiment with camera systems, real-time sound processing, circuit-based sound synthesis, and generative audiovisual environments. We will touch upon collective means of publishing and authorship.

As an artist your skills in performance and Sound Sculpture will be expanded. Participants will engage with a broad spectrum of hardware and software tools for immersive production, including microscope cameras, spatial audio techniques, and electronic music improvisation. Furthermore, the use of sonification of heat cameras and building divergent temperature environments is one side of the active hands-on approach to environmental, survival issues discussed and investigated in this class.

The course is ideal for those interested in sound, music technology, electronic arts, and immersive spatial design. The multidisciplinary lecture is a basis, a model to build on for your individual expertise and interests to be expanded. Let's prototype experimental modes of immersive worlds, real-time sound environments, and expanded media performance. Those interested in media as an interactive and extroverted experience are here at home.
