=== Beschreibung: ===
We will explore how artists respond to pervasive surveillance systems, from face recognition to data tracking, using both conceptual frameworks and hands-on experimentation.

Students will engage with critical texts on surveillance and digital culture, while experimenting with technology and creative practices that challenge or subvert monitoring technologies.

Ideal for students interested in participatory learning, digital surveillance culture, and socially engaged art. This course emphasizes curiosity, experimentation, and critical reflection, making each session a dynamic laboratory for ideas and practice.

How can we make mice live by the rules of investment banking?

To improve the understanding of the dynamics of finance markets the "Market and Mouse"-System tries to simulate a part of the fiscal universe. The main analysis focuses on the aspect of investment banking. This is the field with the biggest possible profit. "Market and Mouse" investigates how mice decide if they have to choose between high risk but high value options and less lucrative possibilities.

[http://einsdreidrei.com/Brume Brume] by [[Sebastian Wolf]] & Michael Kugler

In 'Brume', the artist duo Michael Kugler and Sebastian Wolf investigate immateriality by coaxing fog into a semi-geometrical, self-organizing form. The viewer becomes a catalyst for disturbance, generating turbulences that not only illustrate the carrying power of the air, but upset a perceived equilibrium, and reveal the spatial and temporal volatility of such a phenomenon. 'Brume' operates in the margins between ubiquity and the finite, symmetry and the amorphous, transience and permanence, and gesturing at the paradox of immateriality.

=== Course Description: ===
Werk-/Fachmodul - SWS 6

'''Information:'''

Time: SoSe 26, Mondays 13:30 - 16:40

Place: Bauhausstraße 9a - Gestalterisches Zentrum 001 (ground floor - DBL)

'''Mentor:'''

M.F.A. Isabella Lee Arturo

'''Office hours:'''

Tuesday in the morning and afternoon, by appointment.

Please email me to schedule a meeting time.

=== Course Description: ===
This course welcomes students with a basic knowledge of TouchDesigner(TD) who would like to apply it to create immersive and interactive art installations. The goal is to reach an intermediate level by developing and expanding your TD skills through creative practice.

We will take a hands-on approach, using the DBL (Digital Bauhaus Lab) as a sandbox for experimental audiovisual work.

This seminar follows a horizontal peer-learning model; therefore, active participation from all students and commitment are expected.

Your grade is based on three assignments: 1) In-Class Assignment 2) Midterm Assignment: research five (5) artist references that will inspire your art installation, and 3) Final Assignment: create an immersive and interactive art installation for the Summaery26 exhibition.

For the final assignment, you have the option to work in groups on a collaborative installation at the DBL, or alternatively, to work individually on a semester project developed within your Projektmodul.

Immersive Spaces (Part I): Art Installations with TouchDesigner and more

2025-11-10T12:38:11Z

Moru5273:

=== Course Description: ===
This course is an introduction level to create immersive art installations using TouchDesigner as the main tool. We will have a hands-on approach using the DBL(Digital Bauhaus Lab) as a sandbox space for experimental audiovisual projects.
Art installations are part of a practice in which artists and viewers constantly experience and
construct space together. They are immersive environments that integrate various artistic
techniques and strategies, generating a complex sensory experience for viewers.
This seminar is based on a horizontal peer learning approach, therefore, active participation
from all students and a commitment to attend all sessions is expected. At the end of the semester our goal is to create a joint spatial installation in the DBL.

=== Course Phases: ===
The course is divided into three phases, and each will have an assignment:

1. First phase:

We will focus on the fundamentals of TouchDesigner and its applications in audiovisual installations.

1st Assignment (03.11. - 24.11.)

2. Second phase:

We will get into the skills you need to design an Immersive Installation, focusing on what you need to have for a pre-production phase: Sketches & Moodboards, Storyboards / Animatics, Schematics, Prototyping (physical or digital).

We will also ask ourselves the following questions during the conceptual phase: What is the Concept or Intent? Will it be linear (a story) or open-ended (exploration)? What will be the Audience Role: Passive observer, active participant, or co-creator?

2nd Assignment (05-01-202)

3. Third phase:

You will collaborate as a group on the creation of a joint audiovisual installation at the DBL during the exam period of the semester.

3rd Assignment (09-02-2026)

=== Workshops: ===
Attendance to these 2 workshops are mandatory for our Fachmodul:

==== “Strange Loops: Time, Space and Audiovisual Installation” Workshop (25–28 October) led by Bethan Hughes. ====
25.10. (Sat) 16:00 - (Dinner)

26.10. (Sun) 13:00-18:00

27.10. (Mon) 13:00-18:00

28.10. (Tue) 13:00-18:00

Immersive Spaces (Part I): Art Installations with TouchDesigner and more

2025-11-03T15:50:53Z

Moru5273: /* Tutorials List: */

=== Course Description: ===
This course is an introduction level to create immersive art installations using TouchDesigner as the main tool. We will have a hands-on approach using the DBL(Digital Bauhaus Lab) as a sandbox space for experimental audiovisual projects.
Art installations are part of a practice in which artists and viewers constantly experience and
construct space together. They are immersive environments that integrate various artistic
techniques and strategies, generating a complex sensory experience for viewers.
This seminar is based on a horizontal peer learning approach, therefore, active participation
from all students and a commitment to attend all sessions is expected. At the end of the semester our goal is to create a joint spatial installation in the DBL.

=== Course Phases: ===
The course is divided into three phases, and each will have an assignment:

1. First phase:

We will focus on the fundamentals of TouchDesigner and its applications in audiovisual installations.

1st Assignment (03.11. - 24.11.)

2. Second phase:

We will get into the skills you need to design an Immersive Installation, focusing on what you need to have for a pre-production phase: Sketches & Moodboards, Storyboards / Animatics, Schematics, Prototyping (physical or digital).

We will also ask ourselves the following questions during the conceptual phase: What is the Concept or Intent? Will it be linear (a story) or open-ended (exploration)? What will be the Audience Role: Passive observer, active participant, or co-creator?

2nd Assignment (05-01-202)

3. Third phase:

You will collaborate as a group on the creation of a joint audiovisual installation at the DBL during the exam period of the semester.

3rd Assignment (09-02-2026)

=== Workshops: ===
Attendance to these 2 workshops are mandatory for our Fachmodul:

==== “Strange Loops: Time, Space and Audiovisual Installation” Workshop (25–28 October) led by Bethan Hughes. ====

2025-10-20T17:49:36Z

Moru5273: /* Curriculum */

Fach/Werkmodule
 Dr. Mindaugas Gapševičius, Isabella Lee Arturo, Bethan Hughes

Mondays 17:00 DBL, Bauhausstraße 9a, Ground floor
 First meeting October 20, 2025.
 Intensive workshop: October 25, 26, 27, 28 (all days)

An ecosystem can be described as a network of interacting living and non-living components within a defined space—such as a garden, an exhibition space, or, in a broader sense, a bacterial cell or an artwork. Also, or as Felix Guattari puts it, the ecological registers comprise the environment, social relations, and human subjectivity.

In the proposed project module, we will adopt this broader understanding of ecosystems, conceptually engaging with the notion and its interactive elements. What elements can be identified within a defined ecosystem? How do these elements respond to the questions posed by an artwork?

During the module, we will develop an installation—and, in a broader sense, explore land art, interactive audiovisual works, or participatory events—as an ecosystem constituting an artwork, examining how all components come together to convey its conceptual core. This process will be supplemented by an intensive five-day workshop.

During the workshop, we will test the technical and conceptual limits of installation by creating a series of temporary installations in spaces in and around the university. Stretching the notion of ‘ecology’ beyond its original meaning – denoting the relationship between living organisms and their environment – we will identify and experiment with the different interlocking elements that produce an audiovisual installation.

Students will develop skills to understand how Audiovisual synchronisation, immersive spaces, screen surfaces, and site-specificity contribute to the creation of an audiovisual installation. Rather than outlining visionary projections of an artwork, they will learn to articulate the work in its realised form.

[[GMU:BFA MFA Finals#Stefan Pach: Markt und Maus |Markt und Maus]] (Market and Mouse) [[Stefan Pach |Stefan Pach]]

How can we make mice live by the rules of investment banking?

To improve the understanding of the dynamics of finance markets the "Market and Mouse"-System tries to simulate a part of the fiscal universe. The main analysis focuses on the aspect of investment banking. This is the field with the biggest possible profit. "Market and Mouse" investigates how mice decide if they have to choose between high risk but high value options and less lucrative possibilities.

[http://einsdreidrei.com/Brume Brume] by [[Sebastian Wolf]] & Michael Kugler

In 'Brume', the artist duo Michael Kugler and Sebastian Wolf investigate immateriality by coaxing fog into a semi-geometrical, self-organizing form. The viewer becomes a catalyst for disturbance, generating turbulences that not only illustrate the carrying power of the air, but upset a perceived equilibrium, and reveal the spatial and temporal volatility of such a phenomenon. 'Brume' operates in the margins between ubiquity and the finite, symmetry and the amorphous, transience and permanence, and gesturing at the paradox of immateriality.

...just google it.

plug & pray is an interactive artwork that allows believers to pray through their computer. plug & pray makes the search for God easier, with the help of the internet. plug & pray works as if you were praying. Believers use the pray device that activates a google image search for the word „God“ on the act of praying. plug & pray believers see the results of their prayers as spiritualized video, projected before their very eyes.

GMU:Back-to-Ecosystems

2025-10-14T07:54:06Z

Moru5273: /* Curriculum */

Fach/Werkmodule
 Dr. Mindaugas Gapševičius, Isabella Lee Arturo, Bethan Hughes

Mondays 17:00 DBL, Bauhausstraße 9a, Ground floor
 First meeting October 20, 2025.
 Intensive workshop: October 25, 26, 27, 28 (all days)

An ecosystem can be described as a network of interacting living and non-living components within a defined space—such as a garden, an exhibition space, or, in a broader sense, a bacterial cell or an artwork. Also, or as Felix Guattari puts it, the ecological registers comprise the environment, social relations, and human subjectivity.

In the proposed project module, we will adopt this broader understanding of ecosystems, conceptually engaging with the notion and its interactive elements. What elements can be identified within a defined ecosystem? How do these elements respond to the questions posed by an artwork?

During the module, we will develop an installation—and, in a broader sense, explore land art, interactive audiovisual works, or participatory events—as an ecosystem constituting an artwork, examining how all components come together to convey its conceptual core. This process will be supplemented by an intensive five-day workshop.

During the workshop, we will test the technical and conceptual limits of installation by creating a series of temporary installations in spaces in and around the university. Stretching the notion of ‘ecology’ beyond its original meaning – denoting the relationship between living organisms and their environment – we will identify and experiment with the different interlocking elements that produce an audiovisual installation.

Students will develop skills to understand how Audiovisual synchronisation, immersive spaces, screen surfaces, and site-specificity contribute to the creation of an audiovisual installation. Rather than outlining visionary projections of an artwork, they will learn to articulate the work in its realised form.

<big>Fachmodul</big>

'''Lecturer:'''

Isabella Lee Arturo

'''When:''' Monday 13:30 - 16:30

== '''Description:''' ==
This course allows students to explore the integration of spoken and written words into interactive performances and art installations.

It will offer an experimental playground for using speech recognition and live transcription technologies, allowing spoken language to be translated to text in real-time.

The use of voice in performances bridges symbolic and embodied experiences, and allows the artist to practice through poetic, satirical, and political expressions. At the end of the semester, the students will prepare an event for the Summaery 2025 in the style of an “open mic” night, getting the experience of performing with a live audience.

'''Objectives:'''

* Develop programming skills and learn to use various tools to create interactive performances and installations.
* Creative Explorations of ways to use voice and text in performances.

Participants will collaborate with the students from Ting-Chun Liu’s course <<Unexpected Imageries - programming generative art>>

'''Requirements:'''

There are no specific requirements, but having a basic understanding of programming syntax can be beneficial.

Experience in performance arts is not necessary.

'''Final Task:'''

“Open Mic” or Show Night during the Summaery 2025.

GMU:Hallucinating computers and dreaming non-machines

2025-06-24T10:17:21Z

Moru5273: /* Midterm Presentations: */

[[File:Dreaming computers.png|thumb|539x539px]]
==Project Module: Hallucinating Computers and Dreaming Non-Machines==
Isabella Lee Arturo, Dr. Mindaugas Gapševičius, Prof. Ursula Damm

The course wants to stimulate and accompany projects of students dealing with emergent behavior of computers and/or their co-existence with non-machines. Non-machine is a term which has been introduced by Mindaugas Gapsevicius and names all non-technical subjects (humans, animals, plants). It inspires us to look at living things from the perspective of a machine and vice versa.

In the module we want to imagine how non-humans dream or how we - humans can use our dreams for a meaningful exchange with other non-machines.

We comprehend the concept of [dreaming] as a term that connects with fictions, futuristic speculations and desires.

And what about human-shaped machines? Being confronted with hallucinations of software processes in many facets of our daily lives, we would also like to better understand the difference between computer hallucinations and our own dreaming capacity.

More and more research focuses on all the creatures which made human life possible. Millions of years of photosynthesis made it possible for us to live on earth today. The ecological crises show that we have not yet understood our dependence on our ecological embedding. Have we developed the wrong kind of technology? What can the capabilities of contemporary technology contribute to a common, intellectual and spiritual sphere?

==Project Module: Hallucinating Computers and Dreaming Non-Machines==
Isabella Lee Arturo, Dr. Mindaugas Gapševičius, Prof. Ursula Damm

The course wants to stimulate and accompany projects of students dealing with emergent behavior of computers and/or their co-existence with non-machines. Non-machine is a term which has been introduced by Mindaugas Gapsevicius and names all non-technical subjects (humans, animals, plants). It inspires us to look at living things from the perspective of a machine and vice versa.

In the module we want to imagine how non-humans dream or how we - humans can use our dreams for a meaningful exchange with other non-machines.

We comprehend the concept of [dreaming] as a term that connects with fictions, futuristic speculations and desires.

And what about human-shaped machines? Being confronted with hallucinations of software processes in many facets of our daily lives, we would also like to better understand the difference between computer hallucinations and our own dreaming capacity.

More and more research focuses on all the creatures which made human life possible. Millions of years of photosynthesis made it possible for us to live on earth today. The ecological crises show that we have not yet understood our dependence on our ecological embedding. Have we developed the wrong kind of technology? What can the capabilities of contemporary technology contribute to a common, intellectual and spiritual sphere?

"Probably Chelsea is a collection of thirty different possible portraits of whistleblower Chelsea Manning algorithmically-generated by an analysis of her DNA. While she was in prison, forbidden from being visited, she sent me cheek swabs from which I could extract DNA to create her portrait. Genomic data can tell a multitude of different stories about who and what you are. Probably Chelsea shows just how many ways your DNA can be interpreted as data, and how subjective the act of reading DNA really is."

"The project ‘Ventriloquist Ontology’ explores the limits of control and points of hybridization between the human and the machine through the relationship of a performer and a wearable entity. This ventriloquist modular soft entity speaks through text generated using a GPT-2 language model, trained on a dataset of texts around biopolitics, algo-governance, the surveillanced body, and queer theory."

==Project Module: Hallucinating Computers and Dreaming Non-Machines==
Isabella Lee Arturo, Dr. Mindaugas Gapševičius, Prof. Ursula Damm

The course wants to stimulate and accompany projects of students dealing with emergent behavior of computers and/or their co-existence with non-machines. Non-machine is a term which has been introduced by Mindaugas Gapsevicius and names all non-technical subjects (humans, animals, plants). It inspires us to look at living things from the perspective of a machine and vice versa.

In the module we want to imagine how non-humans dream or how we - humans can use our dreams for a meaningful exchange with other non-machines.

We comprehend the concept of [dreaming] as a term that connects with fictions, futuristic speculations and desires.

And what about human-shaped machines? Being confronted with hallucinations of software processes in many facets of our daily lives, we would also like to better understand the difference between computer hallucinations and our own dreaming capacity.

More and more research focuses on all the creatures which made human life possible. Millions of years of photosynthesis made it possible for us to live on earth today. The ecological crises show that we have not yet understood our dependence on our ecological embedding. Have we developed the wrong kind of technology? What can the capabilities of contemporary technology contribute to a common, intellectual and spiritual sphere?

GMU:Hallucinating computers and dreaming non-machines

==Project Module: Hallucinating Computers and Dreaming Non-Machines==
Isabella Lee Arturo, Dr. Mindaugas Gapševičius, Prof. Ursula Damm

The course wants to stimulate and accompany projects of students dealing with emergent behavior of computers and/or their co-existence with non-machines. Non-machine is a term which has been introduced by Mindaugas Gapsevicius and names all non-technical subjects (humans, animals, plants). It inspires us to look at living things from the perspective of a machine and vice versa.

In the module we want to imagine how non-humans dream or how we - humans can use our dreams for a meaningful exchange with other non-machines.

We comprehend the concept of [dreaming] as a term that connects with fictions, futuristic speculations and desires.

And what about human-shaped machines? Being confronted with hallucinations of software processes in many facets of our daily lives, we would also like to better understand the difference between computer hallucinations and our own dreaming capacity.

More and more research focuses on all the creatures which made human life possible. Millions of years of photosynthesis made it possible for us to live on earth today. The ecological crises show that we have not yet understood our dependence on our ecological embedding. Have we developed the wrong kind of technology? What can the capabilities of contemporary technology contribute to a common, intellectual and spiritual sphere?

'''Lecturer:'''

Isabella Lee Arturo

'''When:''' Monday 13:30 - 16:30

== '''Description:''' ==
This course allows students to explore the integration of spoken and written words into interactive performances and art installations.

It will offer an experimental playground for using speech recognition and live transcription technologies, allowing spoken language to be translated to text in real-time.

The use of voice in performances bridges symbolic and embodied experiences, and allows the artist to practice through poetic, satirical, and political expressions. At the end of the semester, the students will prepare an event for the Summaery 2025 in the style of an “open mic” night, getting the experience of performing with a live audience.

'''Objectives:'''

* Develop programming skills and learn to use various tools to create interactive performances and installations.
* Creative Explorations of ways to use voice and text in performances.

Participants will collaborate with the students from Ting-Chun Liu’s course <<Unexpected Imageries - programming generative art>>

'''Requirements:'''

There are no specific requirements, but having a basic understanding of programming syntax can be beneficial.

Experience in performance arts is not necessary.

'''Final Task:'''

“Open Mic” or Show Night during the Summaery 2025.

[[GMU:BFA MFA Finals#Stefan Pach: Markt und Maus |Markt und Maus]] (Market and Mouse) [[Stefan Pach |Stefan Pach]]

How can we make mice live by the rules of investment banking?

To improve the understanding of the dynamics of finance markets the "Market and Mouse"-System tries to simulate a part of the fiscal universe. The main analysis focuses on the aspect of investment banking. This is the field with the biggest possible profit. "Market and Mouse" investigates how mice decide if they have to choose between high risk but high value options and less lucrative possibilities.

[http://einsdreidrei.com/Brume Brume] by [[Sebastian Wolf]] & Michael Kugler

In 'Brume', the artist duo Michael Kugler and Sebastian Wolf investigate immateriality by coaxing fog into a semi-geometrical, self-organizing form. The viewer becomes a catalyst for disturbance, generating turbulences that not only illustrate the carrying power of the air, but upset a perceived equilibrium, and reveal the spatial and temporal volatility of such a phenomenon. 'Brume' operates in the margins between ubiquity and the finite, symmetry and the amorphous, transience and permanence, and gesturing at the paradox of immateriality.

plug & pray is an interactive artwork that allows believers to pray through their computer. plug & pray makes the search for God easier, with the help of the internet. plug & pray works as if you were praying. Believers use the pray device that activates a google image search for the word „God“ on the act of praying. plug & pray believers see the results of their prayers as spiritualized video, projected before their very eyes.

=== Description: ===
EN:

Learn how to prepare art exhibitions through hands-on practice. In this Fachmodul, every student will be given the opportunity to exhibit their own work once and also gain experience supporting other artists in different capacities during three small-sized art shows.

The course is structured to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the exhibition process by dividing them into three rotating groups:

# Artists Team: This group focuses on curating and preparing the artworks for the exhibition.
# Exhibition Production Team: This group is responsible for setting up the exhibition space, including installation and logistics.
# Communication Team: This group handles promotion, marketing, and public relations for the exhibition.

After each exhibition, the groups will rotate roles. By the end of the semester, all participants will have a well-rounded understanding of the skills and tasks required to successfully manage an exhibition.
----DE:

=== Description: ===
EN:

This course offers an introductory overview of body-based art and their encounter with technology. We will learn by recreating the innovative ideas that have shaped today's art scene and discuss collective working methods for integrating interactive technology into performance art pieces.

Since the first half of the last century, the cybernetic school of thought has profoundly transformed every aspect of our lives, from urban planning to market economies. What does it mean to live in bodies that move through automated systems and their ecosystems? Based on cybernetic concepts, we will explore the interrelations between bodies and their environments.
To achieve this, we will review performative and action-based strategies for developing artistic ideas. Performative artwork encompasses a wide range of practices, and with the inclusion of computers and digital systems, new strategies have emerged. We will consider performance beyond traditional disciplines, and by the end of the course, students will develop proposals for collaboration and improvisation with digital technology. Participants will collaborate with Alexander König's students, who will be learning to develop interactive networks in TouchDesigner.
DE:

Dieser Kurs bietet einen ersten Überblick über körperbasierte Kunst und ihre Interaktion mit Technologie. Die Teilnehmer lernen von den innovativen Arbeiten von Künstler/innen, die die aktuelle Kunstszene beeinflusst haben, und diskutieren kollektive Arbeitsmethoden zur Integration interaktiver Technologie in Performance-Kunstwerke.

Seit der ersten Hälfte des letzten Jahrhunderts hat die kybernetische Denkschule jeden Aspekt unseres Lebens tiefgreifend verändert. Was bedeutet es, in Körpern zu leben, die sich durch automatisierte Systeme und ihre Ökosysteme bewegen? Aufbauend auf kybernetischen Konzepten werden wir die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Körpern und ihrer Umgebung untersuchen.

Die Teilnehmer werden mit den Studenten von Alexander König zusammenarbeiten und lernen, wie man interaktive Projekte im TouchDesigner entwickelt.

[[GMU:BFA MFA Finals#Stefan Pach: Markt und Maus |Markt und Maus]] (Market and Mouse) [[Stefan Pach |Stefan Pach]]

How can we make mice live by the rules of investment banking?

To improve the understanding of the dynamics of finance markets the "Market and Mouse"-System tries to simulate a part of the fiscal universe. The main analysis focuses on the aspect of investment banking. This is the field with the biggest possible profit. "Market and Mouse" investigates how mice decide if they have to choose between high risk but high value options and less lucrative possibilities.

[http://einsdreidrei.com/Brume Brume] by [[Sebastian Wolf]] & Michael Kugler

In 'Brume', the artist duo Michael Kugler and Sebastian Wolf investigate immateriality by coaxing fog into a semi-geometrical, self-organizing form. The viewer becomes a catalyst for disturbance, generating turbulences that not only illustrate the carrying power of the air, but upset a perceived equilibrium, and reveal the spatial and temporal volatility of such a phenomenon. 'Brume' operates in the margins between ubiquity and the finite, symmetry and the amorphous, transience and permanence, and gesturing at the paradox of immateriality.

plug & pray is an interactive artwork that allows believers to pray through their computer. plug & pray makes the search for God easier, with the help of the internet. plug & pray works as if you were praying. Believers use the pray device that activates a google image search for the word „God“ on the act of praying. plug & pray believers see the results of their prayers as spiritualized video, projected before their very eyes.

<big>Fachmodul</big>

'''Lecturer:'''

Isabella Lee Arturo

'''When:''' Monday 13:30 - 16:30

'''Description:'''

This course allows students to explore the integration of spoken and written words into interactive performances and art installations.

It will offer an experimental playground for using speech recognition and live transcription technologies, allowing spoken language to be translated to text in real-time.

The use of voice in performances bridges symbolic and embodied experiences, and allows the artist to practice through poetic, satirical, and political expressions. At the end of the semester, the students will prepare an event for the Summaery 2025 in the style of an “open mic” night, getting the experience of performing with a live audience.

'''Objectives:'''

* Develop programming skills and learn to use various tools to create interactive performances and installations.
* Creative Explorations of ways to use voice and text in performances.

Participants will collaborate with the students from Ting-Chun Liu’s course <<Unexpected Imageries - programming generative art>>

'''Requirements:'''

There are no specific requirements, but having a basic understanding of programming syntax can be beneficial.

Experience in performance arts is not necessary.

'''Final Task:'''

“Open Mic” or Show Night during the Summaery 2025.

=== Dates: ===
Montag 13:30 – 16:45 Uhr

=== Description: ===
EN:

This course offers an introductory overview of body-based art and their encounter with technology. We will learn by recreating the innovative ideas that have shaped today's art scene and discuss collective working methods for integrating interactive technology into performance art pieces.

Since the first half of the last century, the cybernetic school of thought has profoundly transformed every aspect of our lives, from urban planning to market economies. What does it mean to live in bodies that move through automated systems and their ecosystems? Based on cybernetic concepts, we will explore the interrelations between bodies and their environments.
To achieve this, we will review performative and action-based strategies for developing artistic ideas. Performative artwork encompasses a wide range of practices, and with the inclusion of computers and digital systems, new strategies have emerged. We will consider performance beyond traditional disciplines, and by the end of the course, students will develop proposals for collaboration and improvisation with digital technology. Participants will collaborate with Alexander König's students, who will be learning to develop interactive networks in TouchDesigner.
DE:

Dieser Kurs bietet einen ersten Überblick über körperbasierte Kunst und ihre Interaktion mit Technologie. Die Teilnehmer lernen von den innovativen Arbeiten von Künstler/innen, die die aktuelle Kunstszene beeinflusst haben, und diskutieren kollektive Arbeitsmethoden zur Integration interaktiver Technologie in Performance-Kunstwerke.

Seit der ersten Hälfte des letzten Jahrhunderts hat die kybernetische Denkschule jeden Aspekt unseres Lebens tiefgreifend verändert. Was bedeutet es, in Körpern zu leben, die sich durch automatisierte Systeme und ihre Ökosysteme bewegen? Aufbauend auf kybernetischen Konzepten werden wir die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Körpern und ihrer Umgebung untersuchen.

Die Teilnehmer werden mit den Studenten von Alexander König zusammenarbeiten und lernen, wie man interaktive Projekte im TouchDesigner entwickelt.
