Design & Computation invited Generative Arts and New Media, two other digital departments from the University of the Arts Berlin, to further expand their exhibition and performance program for the Ars Electronica festival.

DESIGN & COMPUTATION

With the new joint master’s program, the two universities are responding to a ubiquitous process of societal and technological change as well to the increasingly dynamic subject culture. The UdK and TU Berlin also share an overarching interest in further thinking across disciplines and developing new teaching and research formats through this program. Students, teachers and researchers in this model pro- gram have access to a broad curriculum including the most diverse teaching and research cultures. This enables them to work in an interdisciplinary context and, using techniques and theories at the cutting edge, in a manner both analytical and practical. The works shown here were created in the studio of the master’s program, where students dedicate themselves to the development of new media, materials and methods for design processes within the framework of iterative project work and a theme that changes each year. This takes place in the form of drafts, visualizations, concrete experimental ap- plications or design implementations on a variable scale

NEW MEDIA

The New Media Class is a project-based study class that looks critically at emerging media, technology and culture. Instead of focusing on specific tools, the ethos of the class is to question the status quo in order to enable new possible futures.
