The projection of an image is significantly determined by its carrier. Materiality and properties of possible image carriers are discussed in light of the ideas and artistic projects of the students. For this, we work with a light-sensitive liquid whose properties make it especially versatile for analogue photography. Which material is suitable for this particular image / this special photography?… 2025W, Vorlesung und Übungen, 2.0 ECTS

Fredric Jameson is said to have once remarked, “It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.” That may have been true in the 1990s, but it is no longer the case today. This is particularly evident in the literary genre of utopia, which is flourishing today as rarely before. Not only are new utopias… 2026S, scientific seminar, 4.0 ECTS

–– Das Nebensächliche, das Vergessen und der Rest Kryptomnesie heißt das Phänomen, bei dem wir auf eine anscheinend originelle Idee kommen und sich später herausstellt, dass wir sie in Wirklichkeit von einer anderen Person gehört oder irgendwo gelesen haben. Das lässt sich experimentell leicht herstellen: Die Kunst liegt darin, "zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt genau so viel Vergessen unter die Erinnerung… 2025W/2026S, scientific seminar, 4.0 ECTS

The subject of the semester-long exercise is to deal with an existing design of somebody else under altered conditions — i.e. with design decisions made already by somebody else and therefore representing another architectural approach. At the same time the transformation of a design of one’s own by somebody else is experienced. Awareness of all other projects and their transformation… 2026S, Practical Exercises, 3.0 ECTS

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.
