A festival is a total work of art in which design, graphics, art, light, music, fashion and performance are combined in a unique way and which offers the opportunity to try out new experimental design ideas and concepts without constraint. Design does not have to be limited to the creation of things, but can also be the creation of a moment in which one forgets time and loses oneself in sound, light and movement.
The historic Bauhaus is known for its innovative approaches to art and design. The Lantern Festival, the Dragon Festival, the White Festival and the Metallic Festival were experimental and avant-garde in their use of materials, light, sound and movement, as well as absurd and humorous in relation to social developments of the time.
The aim of this course is to build, to realise one's own idea for an interactive party machine. This can be light sculptures, projections, costumes (electronic wearables), electronic musical instruments, inflatables, fog holograms or automata of all kinds.
The presentation becomes a party: an electronic celebration.
