Description

With this project module students can initiate their own self-directed project, while still being provided conceptual and technical support. Students are encouraged to propose a practice-based artistic/design research project that is in line with their own interests and growing body of work. We support proposals that aim to arguably develop the students’ portfolio, skills and overall work in the field of:

Interactive Art / Light Art / Energy Harvesting / Physical, Tangible Computing / Spatial Interaction / Architectural Interfaces / 2D/3D Prototyping & Printed Electronics / Mobile, Location-based Applications / Artistic Research / Embodied Data

Workload

The granted credits for a project module are 18 ECTS and 16 SWS, which roughly translates to a work/study load of ca. 500 hours. This open project module is only suitable for students who are able to properly and consistently self-organize their time, energy and efforts. While we are going to be available for individual consultations and - if agreed - irregularly check in with you, you will have the freedom and responsibility to structure your own time, etc.

Application

If you would like to initiate a project in the framing of this Open Project Module, please send us an e-mail to lotta.stoever@uni-weimar.de, including:

a brief project proposal that explains your project idea, why you are interested to work on this and how it helps you to develop your portfolio and artistic/design practice further
a schedule that gives a realistic overview of how you are structuring the development of your project

Please include the following dates for your schedule:

Kick-off meeting: [DATE TODO]
Intermediary presentation: [DATE TODO]
Final presentation: [DATE TODO]

For additional consultations, you can join our more or less regular open slots for individual talks.
