Material&Process-24

Karin Lingnau with Dawid Liftinger, Camilo Sandoval

In this semester we are taking the route from working with algorithms (p5), creating patterns and iterations, to learning to work with the lasercutter, transfering digital patterns to the physical, using materials like wood/ MDF and rubber, creating stamps to later print and to experiment... to be continued...

Seminar dates
always on Mondays, 14-18, every two weeks
on Mondays inbetween is time to work in the exMedia Lab.

Please take a look at the dates, as it is not regular due to holidays.

general seminar text

The basic seminar material & process aims to examine materials and material processes, in interaction with technologies and their aesthetics, in a personal and social context.

The basis of every artistic work is material, whether haptic and physical as material, carrier and medium or/and structural and immaterial as coding. The consideration and examination of the interdependencies of material in their fundamental principles, in their translations and overlaps between the digital and the physical, will be carried out in the seminar through experiments and material studies. Material processes and algorithmic sequences are part of practical exercises and theoretical introductions.

The focus is on observing and getting to know material as an independent element, as well as on working with materials and their processes. Students can develop their own experiments and models using basic techniques and existing equipment. Analog materials and tools for processing material on a digital and mechanical level (e.g. CNC production such as laser cutters, milling machines or printing techniques such as Riso) are available. The principles discussed in the seminar can become the basis for works and concepts on a sculptural and/or digital level.
