Media Events are events that acquire significance and legitimacy through the media and as a result of the media. Events are developed and staged that can be publicly displayed and accompanied as PR or artistic campaigns, events or social interventions. There are two approaches to this: On the one hand, performative and staged approaches can be used to bring artistic, creative or social issues to public attention. On the other hand, there is a wealth of media forms and formats available, which can be utilised through words and images, as exhibits, TV programmes or live shows, documentaries or works of art. In the »Media Events« section, both the performative and the journalistic aspects are explored and further developed on the basis of specific projects.
