In this Master course we looked at the history of moving images in general and “Expanded Cinema”, Video Art and Experimental Animation in particular and analysed new developments and tendencies in contemporary animation. The students developed own experimental animations at the intersection of moving images, digital technology and aesthetics and found new approaches to create moving images, re-use existing methods to bring images in motion, have them driven by code or data, created under the influence of neural networks and similar technologies or even create moving apparatuses and installations. The final results were presented publicly at the Open Space stage at the city centre of Bremen.
(selection of projects)
Zhimin Wang: Lake - Re-purposing of game engine for split-screen view of simulation scene
Abhay Pratap Singh: Visualisation Intuition - Project on similarities between semi-automatic drawings and AI-images
Slava Romanov: The Forgetting Machine - Installation of blending analog and digital projections
Fabian Mosele: Synthiola - Experimental visual essay on AI-generated digital Doppelgänger
Omar Zaki: Binary Elegy - Experimental oscilloscope animation with sound visualisations
Suyeon Kim: Across the streets - Abstract animation based on 3D scans in Germany and South Korea
