Martin Kusch
Institute of Art and Technology, Coding Lab
2026S, artistic Seminar (SEK), 2.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S02776

Description

The course focuses on time-based works and projects in contemporary digital art and media art, and on their spatial arrangement and staging. The emphasis lies on algorithmic and interactive artistic systems that operate through time, space, and movement, and unfold as open, process-oriented configurations.

Through selected works, artistic strategies are discussed that translate conceptual and thematic concerns into spatial and temporal structures. Central to the seminar are questions of space, movement, and the role of the viewer.

The seminar is discursive in format and combines the analysis of artworks with conceptual design work. Students develop their own project concept for a time-based system in space.

Examination Modalities

- regular and active participation

- independent and engaged contribution to discussions, exercises, and collective tests

- development of an individual project sketch or conceptual exercise within the context of the seminar
