==Description==
<br />
The project module deals with the topic of energy. This is necessary when something is set in motion, accelerated, lifted, heated or illuminated. It is explicitly about its extraction, storage and the experimental creative and artistic handling of it. Literally, if we consider natural resources, we are surrounded by energy.
''A deep relationship with places is as necessary, and perhaps as unavoidable, as close relationships with people; without such relationships human existence, while possible, is bereft of much of its significance.''<br /><br />– Edward Relph, ''Place and Placelessness'', 1976<br />
 
<br /><br />
Every mass around us, regardless of its form, has energy and everything that has energy vibrates.
At the convergence between deep learning, synthetic media, ambient computing and mixed realities, approaches to structuring and implementing physical interactions in platform environments require not only an attention to opaque probabilistic computational processes, but also the ability to identify, articulate and process relational, semantic and epistemological linkages between people, objects, place and space.<br /><br />Building on discourse from disciplines including environmental social science, geomatics, information science and knowledge engineering, this project module will explore the spectrum between phenomenology and applied ontologies as an extension of human-machine interaction paradigms.<br /><br />Through a series of lectures, workshops, readings and targeted discussions, participants will address topics including human and artificial intelligence, agent-based systems, detection and prediction methods, spatial interfaces, platform urbanism and smart citizenry, with a view towards creating and documenting a speculative prototype or interactive proof-of-concept.<br />
Energy harvesting is the collection and storage of small amounts of electrical energy from sources such as light, movement, heat and vibration. A topic that could not be more relevant. The focus is on discussing, questioning and discovering this technical development from a design and artistic point of view, rather than on its efficient use and conversion into electrical energy. We want to work on and realise this in an exemplary and prototypical way. The term in the seminar title - Unplugged: exploring the artistic potentials with Energy Harvesting - can be understood to mean all things, objects, items, modules, artefacts and installation works and their interfaces that deal with the topic of Energy Harvesting.
<br />
 
In this project module, there will be space for creative and artistic concepts and their implementation that deal with the omnipresent existence of potential energy in our everyday lives. Various energy potentials will be investigated and experimentally transformed into new forms of expression. In this way, projects can emerge that pursue very different approaches and take their own positions.
 
Following teaching formats are offered:
 
'''Lecture'''
A lecture series is offered to accompany the Bachelor's and Master's projects of the professorship. This deals with different design and artistic positions and gives an insight into tools and methods for the conception and design of objects, artefacts and installative works and their interfaces, which deal with the topic of energy harvesting. In addition, we will receive visits from interesting designers and artists who will give an insight into their work and working processes. The language of the course will be English.
 
'''Workshop'''
Ralf Schreiber will offer a three-day workshop to accompany the project module.
“WILD WEAK ELECTRONICS“
minimal-energy concepts & underpowered electronic circuits
 
A workshop using only the weakest energy sources based on light, motion, electromagnetism and electrochemistry. By this I mean: tiny-solar-cells, electromagnetic waves, piezo-electronic, DIY potato batteries..
 
All these low energy sources are hardly usable for our everyday devices, because they need quite high, constant and stabilized currents for their reliable operation. Nevertheless, the study of low energy circuit design is rewarding because it reveals the primal, wild and chaotic nature of electricity.
 
In this hands-on workshop, we will craft and solder minimal electronic modules and electro-mechanical objects. These work with the weakest energy sources and create sounds or movements with a unique natural flow. Everything you build yourself can be combined with each other and thus invites you to experiment.
 
The workshop is also a basic introduction to analog and digital electronics. In addition to elementary oscillator and charging circuits, simple µ-controller circuits (based on Arduino) can also be built.
 
'''Consultation'''
By appointment, the individual projects as well as one's own professional development can be discussed. At least 2 consultations should be attended.
 
'''Excursion'''
To sharpen the view and to get further impulses for the development of the project, we will undertake an excursion over several days in June 2023. All students from the project module are invited to participate.
