Throughout the semester we will practically develop artistic and design prototypes that are able to respond to these research questions.

====== Description ======
This *Fachmodul* consists of a series of practical artistic and design research experiments. Together we will explore what generative art + design have to do with regenerative practices, such as renewable energies, recycling materials, permacomputing, and overall doing art and design in the context of ongoing ecological crises. Especially within the current trend towards increased energy and resource consumption of big corporations' generative AI, this seminar aims to develop sensitivities together to be able to respond to that in critical, creative and alternative ways.

Starting with a research phase into traditions of generative visual and sound-based art and design classics to contemporary positions, each student or group develops their own research question. Throughout the semester we will practically develop artistic and design prototypes that are able to respond to these research questions.

In the beginning of the class, we will do some practical and conceptual exercises. These are some initial questions that we will try to work out to get started:

- What are the implied poetics, gestures and temporalities of doing something over and over again? (And what does this have to with life, ecology, sustainability, etc?)
- How can we write a code/protocol that can be executed with our bodies? (For example to take a walk or generate a performance?)
- How can we design systems that are affected by generative forces that lie outside of our human control?

The syllabus is partially student-driven, so after the first few sessions we will conceptually and practically steer the content *Fachmodul* together towards the directions of what we find interesting.

Suggested project formats may range over installations, performances, sculptures, (public or private) interventions, audio/visual, designed systems, writing, machines, net art, experimental setups, eco-feminist action, workshops, photographs, protocols, self-hosted solar servers, DIY printed electronics, and lastly: what other formats make sense to you!
