==Description==
==Description==
The project module deals with the topic of energy. This is necessary when something is set in motion, accelerated, lifted, heated or illuminated. It is explicitly about its extraction, storage and the experimental creative and artistic handling of it. Literally, if we consider natural resources, we are surrounded by energy.  
Light is and remains one of the most important elements for the existence of life on earth. Plants, animals and humans depend on it. Light is omnipresent, it makes things visible and is itself transparent. Light gives rooms stillness, creates spatial presence, makes space disappear. It is both a representation and a means of representation - a fascinating material for artists and designers. Digital technologies make it possible to think of light dynamically, responsively or interactively and challenge us to develop adequate new forms and ways of dealing with it. Sound plays a major role in this context. The question arises as to what artistic and design potentials arise when light can react to its environment in combination with sound.


Every mass around us, regardless of its form, has energy and everything that has energy vibrates.
The aim of the project module is to explore and prototype new forms of interaction with light and sound. In addition to a fundamental understanding of the physical phenomenon of light and its physiological effects, we want to explore the character of light and develop interesting connections between light and the human experience.  
Energy harvesting is the collection and storage of small amounts of electrical energy from sources such as light, movement, heat and vibration. A topic that could not be more relevant. The focus is on discussing, questioning and discovering this technical development from a design and artistic point of view, rather than on its efficient use and conversion into electrical energy. We want to work on and realise this in an exemplary and prototypical way. The term in the seminar title - Unplugged: exploring the artistic potentials with Energy Harvesting - can be understood to mean all things, objects, items, modules, artefacts and installation works and their interfaces that deal with the topic of Energy Harvesting.


In this project module, there will be space for creative and artistic concepts and their implementation that deal with the omnipresent existence of potential energy in our everyday lives. Various energy potentials will be investigated and experimentally transformed into new forms of expression. In this way, projects can emerge that pursue very different approaches and take their own positions.
The term in the seminar title - Enlightening Narratives - artistic approach to light, sound, perception and interaction - can be understood to mean all things, objects, interventions, items, modules, artefacts and installation works and their interfaces that deal with the theme of light. In this project module, there will be space for creative and artistic concepts and their implementation that deal with the topic of light in the most diverse forms.


Following teaching formats are offered:
The following teaching formats are offered:


'''Lecture'''
'''Lecture:''' A series of lectures is offered to accompany the bachelor's and master's projects of the professorship. This deals with various design and artistic positions and provides an insight into tools and methods for the conception and design of objects, artefacts and installation works and their interfaces that deal with the subject of light. The language of the course will be English.  
A lecture series is offered to accompany the Bachelor's and Master's projects of the professorship. This deals with different design and artistic positions and gives an insight into tools and methods for the conception and design of objects, artefacts and installative works and their interfaces, which deal with the topic of energy harvesting. 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 the course will be English.


'''Workshop'''
'''Artisttalk:''' We will receive visits - in person as well as online - from interesting designers and artists who will give an insight into their work and working processes.
Ralf Schreiber will offer a three-day workshop to accompany the project module.
“WILD WEAK ELECTRONICS“
minimal-energy concepts & underpowered electronic circuits


A workshop using only the weakest energy sources based on light, motion, electromagnetism and electrochemistry. By this I mean: tiny-solar-cells, electromagnetic waves, piezo-electronic, DIY potato batteries..
'''Consultation:''' Individual projects and professional development can be discussed by appointment. At least 2 consultations should be attended.


All these low energy sources are hardly usable for our everyday devices, because they need quite high, constant and stabilized currents for their reliable operation. Nevertheless, the study of low energy circuit design is rewarding because it reveals the primal, wild and chaotic nature of electricity.
'''Exhibition visit:''' As part of the project module, we will visit an exhibition that deals with the theme of light. Afterwards, we will discuss and exchange ideas about the works and positions shown.  


In this hands-on workshop, we will craft and solder minimal electronic modules and electro-mechanical objects. These work with the weakest energy sources and create sounds or movements with a unique natural flow. Everything you build yourself can be combined with each other and thus invites you to experiment.
==Admission requirements ==
Enrollment in MKG/MAD MFA or MediaArchitecture MSc programs, or with instructor permission. <br />Please attend of the accompanying modules in Interface Design


The workshop is also a basic introduction to analog and digital electronics. In addition to elementary oscillator and charging circuits, simple µ-controller circuits (based on Arduino) can also be built.
'''Physical Computing: Designing Bright Ideas''' by Brian Larson Clark


'''Consultation'''
'''Sound Source - Light Sink''' by Clemens Wegener
By appointment, the individual projects as well as one's own professional development can be discussed. At least 2 consultations should be attended.
 
'''Excursion'''
To sharpen the view and to get further impulses for the development of the project, we will undertake an excursion over several days in June 2023. All students from the project module are invited to participate.
