Project Module: Open Photonics Makerspace
Light is the first condition of all visibility.
This project module is dedicated to the topic of light as an artistic and creative material. Light is omnipresent: it makes things visible, yet it is transparent itself. It lends spaces tranquillity, creates spatial presence, and makes spaces disappear. It is both representation and a means of representation – a fascinating material for artists.

The Aesthetics of Precision – Lasers in Artistic Contexts
The two-day workshop provides fundamental knowledge in the fields of laser technology and special augmented reality. In addition to safety and technical aspects, the focus is on creative application: using tools such as Madmapper, TouchDesigner, and microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP), participants will playfully develop small installations. The goal is to explore different workflows and test them in their own interactive application.
