2026S, Project Work (PA), 2.0 ECTS, 1.0 semester hours, course number S04450
Description
This course is designed as a shared space for work, production and discourse, in which students explore artistic, technical, and critical issues at the intersection of art and digital technologies.
This semester, the focus is on artistic and experimental work with LED panels as image, light and display technology. Both practical aspects (electronics, programming, materiality, color spaces, errors, artifacts, information aesthetics) and conceptual and critical issues (new media art, media theory, critical engineering) are examined.
