Chair of New Media & Applied Arts

The Chair of New Media and Applied Graphics understands itself as an experimental field of practice in which artistic work is explored through all media that can be employed as artistic material. Students are supported in working with analog and digital still and moving images, multimedia installations, sound, performances, and reproduction techniques. The reciprocal relationships between traditional and innovative imaging methods, audiovisual media, as well as documentary and staged approaches are considered in relation to contemporary artistic production and foster an interdisciplinary dialogue between art, media, and design. The field is further expanded through work with the digital three-dimensional body, which involves the reconstruction of reality using 3D scanning and photogrammetry. The resulting data are subsequently processed in dialogue with contemporary artistic questions and issues. In addition to image capture, processing, and reproduction in two-dimensional and virtual space, forms of image output – such as 3D printing, digital inkjet printing, or projection – constitute an integral part of the teaching.

The laboratories, studios, and workshops of the Chair are equipped with high-quality and versatile facilities that enable extensive engagement in the following artistic areas:

Video- and Net-Art | Film and Animation | Audio and Sound-Art | Analog and Digital Photography | Analog and Digital Printing | 3D Scanning and 3D Printing | Multimedia Installation | Performance-Art | Public Art

Please note: Students may borrow equipment such as cameras, microphones, tablets, monitors, and projectors for artistic purposes.
