Description

The artists lab is a project module for students who wish to have an intensive exchange on contemporary artistic approaches to art, media, interactivity and matter. GMU offers our labs (Performance Platform and DIY Biolab) to develop your ideas in suitable environments.
The modul expects you to be self-motivated and self-organized. It offers a culture of discussion. You should consider to participate if you wish to work with the Performance Platform or our DIY Biolab. Part of the module is a lecture on media art thuesday evening at 5.30 pm. Pleople from other study programs are also very welcome, just be aware that we do not offer a strong guidance as it might be necessary if you are getting familiar with media art for a first time. If you are interested to work in our laboratories, please choose the relevant fachmodules from my co-workers.

Das Projekt bietet eine Klammer für studentische Vorhaben, in welchen Experimente Grundlagen werden für künstlerische Ausdrucksformen. Der Besuch der Fachmodule der Professur wird empfohlen.
