CENTRE FOR MEDIA / TIME-BASED MEDIA / FIELD OF STUDY
The Field of Study of Time-Based Media
The curious look at of one’s own viewpoint, in an
eager and critical way and at a self-created distance, allow one to scratch at
the surface of one’s own pictures.
The studies of film and time-based media are dedicated to communicating the aesthetic and technical basics of the moving image – from celluloid to digital film. The question as to the choice of the appropriate form, the appropriate media and their technical usage also play an important role here as does the question concerning one’s own position and the ability to adapt to a general cultural and art-historical context. In addition to the basic course, central importance is given to the independent development and realisation of the students’ own projects. This concerns the artistic-experimental work with moving images as well as joint project work with different fields of study and institutions. In the Academy these are the Centre for Theory, the Forum, and the departments for Fine Arts, Communication Design and Spatial Strategies.
Excursions to festivals and exhibitions complement the course programme.
The Academy is also striving to establish an interdisciplinary and international exchange programme, the focus being the fields of “experimental films” and “experimental documentary films”.
The colloquium, in which the methods and results of the work are presented and discussed with the group, is the central location for information exchange. The “Film Perspectives” event is intended to present and discuss a selection of films and artistic work with moving images, sometimes with invited guest speakers.
For those studying Film/Time-Based Media, there is a video workshop with some of the most modern equipment available and a workshop manager at their disposal. Teaching takes place in two media seminar rooms and in a studio which is currently under (re)construction.
In addition to digital technology a small analogue film suite (16mm/S8) is currently being established.
