Discovering Istanbul – A Work In Progress show

Fakultät: Medien, Studiengang: Medienkunst / Mediengestaltung (M.F.A.)

During a two-week study trip to Istanbul in June 2012 students of the Bauhaus-Univesität had the chance to collaborate with students from the Marmara University. The focus of the project was set on the use of media and artistic means to explore peculiarites and possibilites of the urban space from an intercultural and sociological perspective.
Within the project students of European Urban Studies and Media Art & Design focused on diverse aspects of the Metropolis. From the visual impressions of movement, colour and patterns, the auditive qualities of the environment in the sounds of the city to the situation of young women in Istanbul. The students picked a variety of topics and reflected on the diversity of this Megacity. The works gained grately from the close collaboration with students from the Marmara University who shared their local knowledge and inside understanding. Presented at the Summaery is the current state of the projects which will be completed in October.
