==Talk to me - Connected Things and Objects==
= Open Photonics Makerspace =
Talk to me is the title of an exhibition that was shown 14 years ago at the Museum of Modern Art. Here is a short extract:


''Talk to Me focuses on objects that involve direct interaction, such as interfaces, information systems, communication devices, and projects that establish a practical, emotional or even sensual connection between their users and entities such as cities, companies, governmental institutions, as well as other people.''
''"Light is the first condition of all visibility."''


Some time has now passed and we will probably soon reach the figure of 50 billion when we look at the things and objects that are connected to the Internet. An unimaginable number and we ask ourselves who is actually communicating with whom in an ever-evolving world of networked objects and systems. In the project module - Talk to me - Connected Things and Objects, we would like to search for mysterious, playful, imaginative and ecological ways of dealing with things and objects that can create and translate possible tensions, expectations and disappointments on different levels. The focus is on discourse, questioning and discovering different forms of communication from a creative and artistic perspective. In the course of the project module, we will research, design and develop objects and things that communicate and exchange information in any form and relate to each other. Their autonomy and self-sufficiency are at the centre of their presence. Everything is possible, from nervous systems to fragile infrastructures and humorous individual characters. The project module is supported by practical insights into various production and manufacturing possibilities such as 3D printing, CNC and laser cutting from the BFFL, Bauhaus Form and Function Lab.  A joint exhibition of the projects/objects/things is planned for Summaery 2025 and will be developed in the project module. The project module offers self-motivated and self-organised projects a place for discussion, production and debate. The Fachmodul by Brian Larson Clark – Physical Computing: The Secret Lives of Networked Objects – as well as the Fachmodul by Jesus Velazquez Rodriguez – Tools, materials and approaches for FDM Rapid Prototyping - offers itself as a supplement to the project module.
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 and designers.


Keywords: interactive art, autonomy, self-life, unexpected events, sustainability, low power, LoRa, ultra-wideband technology, networks, objects
Digital technologies enable us to think of light in '''dynamic, responsive, and interactive''' ways, challenging us to develop new forms and modes of interaction.


The following teaching formats are offered:
A cooperation and joint exhibition with the '''Lichtwerkstatt Jena''' at the '''Abbe Center of Photonics''', Friedrich Schiller University Jena, is planned. The makerspace works at the '''interface of knowledge and technology transfer''' between research, industry, and the regional maker community. 


Together with this community of students, scientists, and hobbyists, ideas are to be exchanged, experimented with, developed, and prototyped in a '''hackathon format'''. 
The aim is to develop the potential of the interdisciplinary perspectives of '''art, design, technology, and research''' on the topic of light and create new approaches. 


'''Lecture:'''
== Background & Participation ==
The '''Open Photonics Makerspace''' project module ties in with the 
''“Enacted photons – exploring light as an artistic medium”'' module offered in the winter semester 2024/25, creating a new and further development of the work. 


The lecture series deals with various creative and artistic positions and provides an insight into tools and methods for the conception and design of interactive and reactive objects, artefacts and their interfaces. In addition, we will receive visits from interesting designers and artists who will give an insight into their work and working processes. The language of instruction will be English.
* Open to all interested participants, even '''without prior technical knowledge'''.
* Prerequisite: Completion of one accompanying Fachmodul:
** ''Physical Computing'' (Brian Larson Clark) 
** ''Re/Generative Art + Design'' (Lotta Stöver) 


'''Workshop:

== Funding ==
The cooperation between '''Bauhaus University Weimar''' and '''Friedrich Schiller University Jena''' is funded by the 
'''Bauhaus University Weimar’s Creative Fund: “Open Photonics – Light at the Intersection of Art and Science.”'''


There will be a two-day workshop accompanying the project module by Christoph Noe <nowiki>https://on-guitars.com/</nowiki> focussing on CNC / Shaper Origin. Participation is compulsory.
== Registration ==
* Registration via the '''BISON portal''' 
* Additionally, send a short '''letter of motivation''' (interest in the course, choice of Fachmodul, knowledge level, background) to: 
: martin.hesselmeier@uni-weimar.de 


'''Consultations:

== Certificate of Achievement ==
* Regular attendance and participation 
* Participation in excursions, interim, and final presentations 
* Participation in the jointly organised exhibition at the end of the semester 
* Presentation of the work/project in the '''final presentation''' of the Interface Design professorship 


Individual projects and personal professional development can be discussed by appointment.
'''Project documentation''' is required during the lecture-free period until the end of the semester as: 
* Work file 
* Film in '''MP4 format''' 


'''Excursion:
'''
In order to explore the creative and artistic approaches under real conditions and to gain further impulses for the development of the project, we will go on an excursion from 11-13 June 2025. All students from the project module are invited to take part.

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 and designers.

Digital technologies enable us to think of light in dynamic, responsive, and interactive ways, challenging us to develop new forms and modes of interaction.

A cooperation and joint exhibition with the Lichtwerkstatt Jena at the Abbe Center of Photonics, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, is planned. The makerspace works at the interface of knowledge and technology transfer between research, industry, and the regional maker community.

Together with this community of students, scientists, and hobbyists, ideas are to be exchanged, experimented with, developed, and prototyped in a hackathon format. The aim is to develop the potential of the interdisciplinary perspectives of art, design, technology, and research on the topic of light and create new approaches.
