Beschreibung

Die Interaktion des Wassers mit geologischen Formationen führt zu geschlängelten und gewundenen Formen, die seit Urzeiten Vorbild sind für dekorative und mystische Gestaltung. Auch das Labyrinth, das um ein Zentrum meandert ist ein kulturelles Mem das seit Jahrtausenden kopiert und immer wieder neu interpretiert wird. Ob in ritueller Bewegung, im Tanz oder als Graffitti. In diesem Modul gehen wir den mäandernden Bewegungsspuren nach und erlernen die programmatische Gestaltung von raumfüllenden Kurven, Meandern und Labyrinthen. Am Ende des Moduls steht die kollaborative Gestaltung eines Meanders, das auf der Performance-Plattform aufgeführt werden soll.

Folgende Kenntnisse werden vermittelt:

  • Programmieren mit Processing
  • Steuerung der Videowall und des Sound-Systems der Peformance-Plattform
  • Interfaces zur Aufzeichnung und Gestaltung von Trajektorien
  • Kurven, Trajektorien und Bewegung im Raum
  • Theorie und Praxis der Meander und Labyrinthe
  • Programmierte Gestaltung von Linien und Kurven
  • Raumfüllende Kurven und fraktale Mathematik
  • Generative Systeme


Dieses Modul erfordert keine Programmierkentnisse.

Im Rahmen des Kurses werden grundlegende Programmierkentnisse vermittelt, die es ermöglichen in Zukunft fortgeschrittene Kurse zu belegen.

Empfehlung

Das Modul wird in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Professur Elektroakustische Komposition und Klanggestaltung und der Professur Experimentelles Radio veranstaltet. Es wird empfohlen den Kurs mit "Sounds in Motion" (EKK) oder mit "Big Data / Archiv 2" (RADIO) zu kombinieren. Der Kurs richtet sich auch an Studierende der Medienwissenschaften, die das Seminar "Experimentalkulturen" und das Projekt-Modul "Experimente, Artefakte und ihre Performance" bei der Professur Gestaltung medialer Umgebungen belegen, sowie Studiernde der Medienarchitektur.

Description

The interaction of water with geological formations leads to convoluted meandering forms, which have inspired decorative and ritual design practices since primeval times. The labyrinth, meandering around a central point is a cultural Meme that has been copied and reinterpreted for thousands of years, be it as ritual motion, dance or graffitti. In this module we are following the meandering trajectories and learn how to programmatically design curves, meanders and labyrinths. The module culminates in the collaborative design of a meander to be presented on the performance platform.

No programming skills required. This modules teaches basic programming skills which will enable you to visit advanved modules in the future.

Language

The course will be in English, unless all participants are speaking German.

Eligible Participants

Undergraduates and graduates enrolled in the faculties of D, M and A.
