Narration in und mit technischen Bildmedien
Künstlerische Projektklasse – die Untersuchung narrativer Verfahren, ihrer Möglichkeiten und Grenzen in den Bildmedien ist ein zentraler Bestandteil der Lehre.

 

Die Fachklasse „Narration in und mit technischen Bildmedien“ ist eine künstlerische Projektklasse. Die Untersuchung narrativer Verfahren, ihrer Möglichkeiten und Grenzen in den Bildmedien ist ein zentraler ein Bestandteil der Lehre. Die Student*innen sind aufgefordert eigenständige künstlerische Arbeiten zu erstellen und können hierbei alle denkbaren Formate, auch jenseits des Spielfilms wählen. Gemeinsame Sichtung und Diskussion von Studierenden-Arbeiten im Klassen-Plenum. Einzelbetreuung der Projekte in allen Phasen.

Einzelberatungs-Termine nach Absprache oder per Mail. (tarslan@udk-berlin.de).

Pflichtveranstaltung für Studierende der Fachklasse „Narration in und mit technischen Bildmedien“.

Autobiographische Filmprojekte stehen im entschiedenen Gegensatz zu einem vermeintlich objektiven, beobachtenden Dokumentarfilm. Die Dekonstruktion tradierter Erzählformen und angeeigneter Rezeptionsästhetik gehört hierbei ebenso zum Verfahren wie das Ausloten filmischer Grenzen.

Im Fokus dieses Seminars steht die Entstehung eigenständiger künstlerischer Arbeiten. Dafür wird zum einen der technische Umgang mit der 16mm-Kamera Arri SR2 erprobt. Zum anderen wird jede*r der Teilnehmenden drei Minuten s/w-Material bekommen, um einen „Kürzest-Film“ nach einem vorher erstellten Exposee zu drehen. Die entstandenen Arbeiten sollen nach Möglichkeit am Ende in Form einer kleinen Ausstellung präsentiert werden.

In einem praxisnahen Seminar wird die Klasse für Narrativen Film die Möglichkeit haben, Beispiele der Schnittarbeit von und mit Reinaldo Pinto Almeida zu analysieren, mit besonderem Fokus auf seine Zusammenarbeit mit Professor Thomas Arslan. Dabei werden exemplarische Szenen und Entscheidungen aus dem Schnittraum, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Filme 'Verbrannte Erde' und 'Helle Nächte', hervorgehoben. Darüber hinaus bietet Reinaldo Pinto Almeida individuelle Schnittkonsultationen mit den Studierenden an. Ergebnisse der Konsultationen sollten dann in einem weiteren Schritt mit der Klasse geteilt werden.

Verbindliche Anmeldungen unter: reinaldo@grainofsalt.eu

Alle Teilnehmer*innen sind angehalten, eigene fiktionale Filmideen in das Seminar einzubringen. Der Fokus der Weiterentwicklung liegt im Seminar auf dem visuellen Erzählen. Bilder sind beim Filmemachen das wesentlichste, dramaturgische Gestaltungsmittel. Vor diesem Hintergrund sichten und analysieren wir einige Sequenzen aus der jüngeren Filmgeschichte, die rein visuell funktionieren und die ohne, oder mit nur wenigen Sprechtexten auskommen.

Ziel des Seminars ist es einerseits, die Sensibilität für die Bildebene von textbefreiten Szenen zu schärfen und sich ihrer Aussagekraft bewusst zu werden. Es sollten für alle Beteiligten schriftliche Bildfolgen der eingebrachten Stoffe entstehen.

Verbindliche Anmeldungen unter: horstmarkgraf@web.de

The class “Experimental Film / Media Art” is focused primarily on an experimental approach of the medium film and video. The focus is on the interface of visual art and film. The aim is to develop new formats and experimental methods of presentation, and to find a contemporary approach that addresses current developments in society as well as contemporary philosophical discourses and phenomena.

For new registrations, please send an e-mail to ni.fischer(at)udk-berlin.de.

New students are invited to meet Prof. Nina Fischer on Monday, Oct.14th at 2 pm, after the KUM semester introduction, in GRU 129. Please bring examples of your work for a short presentation.

The seminar discusses the history and present of the ecological question and establishes connections to artistic practices that explore, shape and politicize the relationship between the city and nature in a variety of ways.
First Date / special event:
International Conference „Stadt als ökologische Hölle – Berichte, Reflektionen und Alternativen“ Thursday, 17. October, 9 am - 8 pm, ZK/U, Siemensstraße 27, 10551 Berlin

The seminar takes architecture as the starting point for artistic research and filmic exploration. It examines how ideologies, hierarchies and gender roles are reproduced through physical spaces.

Individual support and guidance for film projects with a focus on visual language and editing.

Camera consultation for the class camera ‘Sony Alpha 7S III

The core of this seminar is the exploration of 16mm and 35mm film as an artistic medium and strategy. From the works of artists like Rosa Barba, Tacita Dean, Anthony McCall or Paul Sharits, film has found its way into artistic environments not only as a as a bearer of images but as an object in space.

In "Art Worlds", sociologist Howard Becker argues that nearly all art works are made by more than one person, and analyzes the process: who does which parts, and who gets which recognition (e.g. credit or payment) for their contribution. We focus on the many forms of decision-making in artistic projects:

monarchy/autocracy: One Artist has general final say
division of decision & labor, aka do-ocracy: person X volunteers to take over sections, e.g. visuals, sound, lighting, and decides all of its aspects along the way
democracy: a collective makes all decisions jointly, by consensus or majority vote

External interference from funding bodies or curatorial layers, and decisions to delegate aspects of a process (to craftspeople or AI tools) add more layers of complexity.

With our sociologist hats on, we look at our own experiences of such work processes, and invent, adapt and improve models we find inspiring to create works.

To explore power games from many angles, we will:
• read Howard Becker, Art Worlds, and other literature
• review/discuss art works that address power relations
• review/discuss own experiences in individual projects, group works (as in S4NTP), and others
• experiment with work processes where we:
- play monarchy, taking turns for time slots/aspects
- work in do-ocracy / divided labor
- apply stricter forms of democracy, such as consensus
- design intra-acting systems that exhibit power relations.

Interactive programming or Just-in-Time programming is the practice of (re)writing a program while it is already running. In performance practice the term Live Coding is used when a performer (or a group of performers) play a piece and/or improvise while programming and showing the code to the audience. Programming tends to be a solo activity even if the result in many cases is a collective effort: most software is built by reusing code in form of libraries, frameworks, copy and paste from forums and, in recent years with the help of Large Language Models. With this in mind, we ask: are there other forms of writing code and algorithmic systems for performing live that adapt to the collective process? How much does it change when it is a collective effort versus a single coder? Starting with the Coding Dojo practice we will explore different methods of writing code together with the purpose of building audiovisual pieces and instruments.

This semester we will explore how digital worlds challenge and reshape perceptions of selfhood and emotional experience. Drawing on Sherry Turkle’s insights into digital identity and the psychology of virtual spaces, this course considers the synthetic realm as both a mirror and a distortion of the self. Game engines serve as a medium for creative production and critical inquiry, driving us to integrate our everyday perceptions along with our questions of identity, ambiguity, and identification.
In this workshop we will feature the game engine as main creative frameworks, to pile personal narrative on the boundary of virtual, reality and past, present, future. We delve into the art of emotional expression by translating our reality into the virtual realm, reorganising our experiences within the context of a game. In the first three and a half days, we’ll engage in in-depth art case studies and hands-on work, including 3D scanning and printing, character simulation, advanced particle systems, and 3D soundscapes in Unity, to integrate personal aesthetic experience gradually. On the last day of the workshop, students will present their Final Projects/Processes.

Where are we ? The act of listening is a political act as much as an activity to increase awareness of the present. Apart from experimenting with a variety of microphones and recorders (to make field recordings, capture found sounds and resonances) we will use the recording booth (to tell stories and record conversations). Inspired by the works of experimental music composers such as Pauline Oliveros, Alvin Lucier, Annea Lockwood, Hildegard Westerkamp and Christina Kubisch we will explore, excite, discover and record surfaces and spaces that we move within and create ourselves. We will discuss ideas by Vilem Flusser, Dick Raaijmakers and Donna Haraway and respond to current news. Participants will create sonic miniatures, sound collages and a radio show.

The rapid development of deep learning in recent years has led to the swift obsolescence of previous research. What was once a hot trend quickly became outdated, resulting in the abandonment of intellectual efforts in scientific research and the discarding of energy-intensive technologies. This semester, we will embark on an archaeological expedition into the recent past of AI generative models. We’ll collect this “old junk” and explore how to recycle it into new artistic projects.

The class seeks to provide an inspiring environment for experimentation with a focus on computational and biological processes in the context of art. It empowers students to define and shape their roles in and with art at a time when technology permeates every aspect of our lives, within expanding and differentiating art fields, and amidst planetary and humanitarian crises.

Students develop individual projects that will be discussed together with the group and during one-on-one meetings. Support will be available for conceptualisation and presentation of work.

The seminar focuses on open systems-oriented art practice. It looks at biological and computational processes in and as artworks, while applying a holistic view to life and sculpture as part of an expanded ecosystem, including experimentation in scientific and technological contexts.

Including international guest lectures and exhibition/studio visits. We will also read together. The output of this seminar is a presentation on the seminar topic, which can take shape as an artwork or in writing.

This seminar explores the multifaceted nature of masculinities, focusing on their relationship with violence, gender theory, and capitalism. Taking place every two weeks, students will have the opportunity to develop their own projects, culminating in an exhibition showcasing their work. We aim to critically examine how traditional notions of masculinity contribute to cycles of violence and are shaped by socio-economic structures.

The core of this seminar is the exploration of 16mm and 35mm film as an artistic medium and strategy. From the works of artists like Rosa Barba, Tacita Dean, Anthony McCall or Paul Sharits, film has found its way into artistic environments not only as a as a bearer of images but as an object in space.
