Description

Everything we know, we know through light - Peter Weibel, 2018

For some people, light is information, for others it is a form of representation of power. Light can be a metaphor for spiritual revelation but also a triumph over darkness. Light is the smallest amount of energy that can be transported and for a large part of humanity, light stands for wisdom and enlightenment - a fascinating and powerful material for artists and designers.

In the project module Enacted photons - exploring light as an artistic medium, we will search for a mysterious, playful, humorous and imaginative approach to the medium of light. The question arises as to what artistic and creative possibilities open up when light - both in the visible and non-visible spectrum - is used experimentally. The aim of the project module is to explore and prototype new forms of interaction with the medium of light. In addition to a basic understanding of the physical phenomenon of light and its physiological effects, we want to explore the character of light and develop interesting connections between light and human experience.

The following teaching formats are offered:

Lecture:

A lecture series is offered to accompany the professorship's Bachelor's and Master's projects. This deals with various creative and artistic positions and provides an insight into tools and methods for the conception and design of objects, objects, artifacts and installation works and their interfaces that deal with the subject of light. The language of instruction is English.

Artisttalk:

We will receive visits from interesting designers and artists who will give an insight into their work and working processes.

Excursion:

As part of the project module, we will visit an exhibition that deals with the subject of light. Afterwards, we will discuss and exchange ideas about the works and positions shown.

Consultation:

Individual projects and your own professional development can be discussed by appointment. At least 2 consultations should be attended.

Admission requirements

Prerequisite for participation in the project module is the completion of the accompanying subject module:

• Physical Computing: Lighting the Way by Brian Larson Clark

+==Description==
-In the project module (Sustainable Futures - Interactive Objects), we will search for the mysterious, playful, humorous and imaginative use of renewable energies to enable artefacts to become self-sufficient. One focus is on generating energy with the help of the sun. The sun is the closest star to the earth and forms the centre of the solar system. Theoretically, it provides enough energy in one hour to cover the world's energy needs for a year. For this reason, the focus is on the discourse, questioning and discovery of this form of energy from a creative and artistic perspective.
+Everything we know, we know through light - Peter Weibel, 2018
-In the course of the project module, we will design reactive and interactive objects that feed exclusively on solar energy. This can lead to uncontrollable, complex superimpositions that can astonish, surprise or even disturb us in their appearance, both visually and sonically. The independent life of things, their autonomy and self-sufficiency are at the centre of their presence. This allows projects to emerge that pursue very different approaches and take their own positions. A joint exhibition of the objects is planned for Summaery 2024 and will be developed in the project module. The project module is aimed at Bachelor's and Master's students and offers self-motivated and self-organised projects a place for discussion, production and debate.
-Keywords: interactive art, sustainability, AI, renewable energies, movement, sound, solar energy, reactive objects, autonomy, self-life

-Workshop: Christoph Noe will offer a workshop to accompany the project module and will give us an insight into his working methods and production processes.
-Artisttalk: We will receive visits from interesting designers and artists who will give an insight into their work and working processes.
-Consultation: Individual projects and your own professional development can be discussed by appointment.
-Excursion: In order to explore the design and artistic approaches under real conditions and to gain further impulses for the development of the project, we will go on an excursion from 17-21 June 2024. All students from the project module are invited to take part.
