Seminartext

Das Open Lab ist Kolloquium und Treffpunkt zur Diskussion aktueller Projekte und gemeinsamer Forschungsschwerpunkte im Kontext des exMedia Labs. Es bietet Raum zum Präsentieren und Erproben von künstlerischen Arbeiten, kooperativen Strategien, Experimenten, Installationen, Workshops, Vorträgen, Texten usw. in unterschiedlichen Entwicklungsstadien. Ergänzend bzw. bei Bedarf finden zudem Workshops und Einführungen zu Themen wie DIY-Elektronik, Prototyping- und Drucktechniken, Programmierung und der Arbeit mit biologischen Medien statt.
Dieses Semester gibt es keinen offiziellen Eintrag ins Vorlesungsverzeichnis. Wir treffen uns in unregelmässigen Abständen nach Absprache. Bei Interesse, einen Workshop anzubieten, ein Experiment durchzuführen, ein Projekt mit allen zu besprechen oder einfach generell Interesse an der gemeinsamen Arbeit im exMedia Lab, meldet Euch bei Karin.
