Project course (grade 13)

Intention:

According to the topics and work methods of contemporary media art, sixteen pupils (grade 13) have developed an interactive environments within the framework of the project ‘Art and Computer Science’ using sensor technologies to programm motion. For their work, they chose quite an unusual environment, the attic of the school, where they arranged and programmed aesthetic objects and digital artefacts, so that accessible and hybrid environments were built. The spectators were involved in the interactive structure of the environments in terms of activating acoustic events such as music, spoken language and the like. To establish a more project oriented work situation, the attic was chosen and could also be used as an open studio accessable outside the lessons.
