    The central topic of the Workshop Electronics & Media is the creative use of electronic and audio-visual hard- and software.

    The media part of the workshop encompasses the use of video and audio technology for recording, transmitting, manipulating and for the playback of audio-viual works, the necessary technical basics for this, discussion of post-production workflows for image and sound, the creation of visual effects using analog and digital means, strategies of medialisation and production with the means of light and sound.

    The electronic part of the workshop offers a lab in which electronic circuits for artistic and musical purposes can be designed, programmed and tested. Goal of this part is to convey an understanding of the technological foundations of electronics, physics and an intuition for the behaviour of complex systems—an understanding that is crucial for a deep understanding of media technology. Advice for projects with parts that regard electrical safety (e.g. works involving mains voltage) can be given in this workshop.

    The devices and technology in the workshop can be used after introduction. An individual discussion of projects or questions of understanding are possible after application via mail.
