Description

In this course students will work with our Performance Platform to develop interfaces and experiments with motion capture and people tracking. The outcomes of this work will be presented during the Summary.

Participants in this course must follow the Digital Puppetry Lab which is a mandatory introduction to the platform where they learn how to properly handle our equipment. Further, they must attend at least one other GMU course such as (In)visible Networks, Biolectronics, Computing with Thread, Sensor HackLab, etc.

Students are also welcome to experiment with amoebas in our DIY Biolab - for this, participation in Biolectronics Werkmodul is mandatory.

How can we broaden our experience of communication between humans, animals and things through the use of experimental objects, arrangements and interfaces?

We will offer the opportunity to continue projects from the last semester.

Beschreibung

Das Projekt bietet die Möglichkeit, eigene Interfaces in Experimenten mit Motion Capture bzw. People Tracking einzusetzen und diese zur summaery als Performance aufzuführen. Verbindlich ist ein Einführungskurs in die Bedienung der Plattform sowie die Teilnahme an Fachmodulen der Professur (z.B. (in)visible network,computing with thread u.a.) zum Erwerb der notwendigen Techniken. Alternativ können synthetische Habitate mit Amöben in unserem DIY Biolab exploriert werden. Hierfür ist die Belegung des Moduls Bioelectronics voraussetzung. Wie können wir über experimentelle Objekte, Anordungen und Interfaces ein vielfältiges Erleben zwischen Menschen, Tieren und Dingen erlangen? Es besteht die Möglichkeit, Installationen aus dem vorigen Semester fortzusetzen.
