registration at : @
*limited # of participants*
@ Room 9, Hardenbergstrasse 33, 10623You want to?
+create eye catching visualizations in 3D or 2D?
+communicate your message through animations or motion graphics?
+add virtual assets to your films?
+need a powerful tool to create and enhance your visual art?*Blender is free and open source, giving you full independence as an artist!*
What will you learn?
– Understand Blender’s interface and the simple logic behind it.
– Create 2D and 3D models.
– Setup background scene and atmosphere.
– Use realistic shaders for 3D or cartoon style shaders for 2D aesthetics.
– Learn basics of animation.
– Import your own videos either as composition elements or as reference videos for your animations.
– Additionally many simple but handy tricks for illustrators, animators and graphic artists.About the Trainer :
@Mert Akbal is a visual artist and researcher in cognitive science studies. He uses ‘Blender’ both at the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste Saar with a focus on animation and media art, as well as at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences to create virtual reality experiments to research spatial navigation and memory.

Parallax Lab offers a platform for students from TU and UdK to meet, to exchange ideas and knowledge, and to collaborate. In weekly meetings, they offer an open space / autonomous work environment where students can develop and build their own transdisciplinary projects. Together- they combine art and science in innovative ways, breaking down the barriers separating these two fields.This semester’s topic is ‘experimental electronics’ focusing especially on the concepts of sound and light. Our aim is to create artworks on a strong technical basis, and take a look at scientific phenomena in a new light. We will deal with reactive circuits, carry out scientific experiments, and compose creative formulas. Workshops will be offered on supporting skills for project building, and open discussions
are always encouraged. All students from any course (and uni!) are welcomed to come by and find out what we’re about. -
Whistleblowing | A Workshop with Disruption Network Lab
registration at : @
*limited # of participants*
@ Room 9, Hardenbergstrasse 33, 10623The act of whistleblowing is a concrete process able to reveal hidden facts, misconducts and wrongdoings of institutions and corporations, producing awareness about social, political and technological matters, informing about the reality we live in. Following a practice-based research approach, this workshop aims to question what we can collectively offer to encourage a critical debate on the effects of whistleblowing in society, as well as to generate experimental ways of cultural production within the post-digital scenario. The methodology behind the development of the conference and community programme of the Disruption Network Lab , and how they work to make sensitive subjects and networks accessible to a larger public will also be shared in the workshop.
About the Workshop Holders:
Disruption Network Lab:
Examining the intersection of politics, technology, and society, Disruption Network Lab exposes the misconduct and wrongdoing of the powerful, by organising inter-disciplinary conferences at the interface of scholarship and politics and local meetups throughout the year. Presenting the Disruption Network Lab programme in Berlin (www.disruptionlab.org).Tatiana Bazzichelli is founding artistic director, curator, and board member of the Disruption Network Lab. Former programme curator at transmediale festival from 2011 to 2014, she initiated and developed the year-round ‘reSource transmedial culture’ network project. In 2016-2017 she was Visiting Lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, teaching about the interconnection between art, hacking and whistleblowing. She was post-doctoral researcher at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, as part of the Centre for Digital Cultures and in 2011 received a PhD degree in Information and Media Studies at the Faculty of Arts of Aarhus University in Denmark. She wrote the books: Networked Disruption: Rethinking Oppositions in Art, Hacktivism and the Business of Social Networking (2013); Networking: The Net as Artwork (2006/2008), and co-edited Disrupting Business: Art and Activism in Times of Financial Crisis (2013).

Lieke Ploeger is the community director and administration officer of the Disruption Network Lab. She also serves as board member of the Disruption Network Lab e. V.. She is the co-founder of the independent project space SPEKTRUM art science community in Berlin, where she worked as community builder from 2014 to 2018. Her core interest lies in building and developing both online and offline communities of interest, with a focus on sharing knowledge and expertise in an open way. In 2018 she published the manual ‘How we can all make it to the future: A guide to offline community building in art & science’ on the community building process of SPEKTRUM art science community. She previously worked as community and project manager for Open Knowledge International, a global non-profit organisation focused on realising open data’s value to society, and for the National Library of the Netherlands. She has a double master of arts from the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands and has been involved in various European research projects in the areas of open cultural data, open access and open science.

Workshop: Sensing Water
registration at : @
*limited # of participants*
@ Room 9, Hardenbergstrasse 33, 10623description:
Explore the human relationship with water using artistic research techniques that meld together embodied explorations with those mediated by sensing equipment. Led and facilitated by Dr Austen, this workshop introduces participants to two of these artistic research methods that make use of scientific equipment and embodied techniques to connect with water, and facilitates the exploration of local water using these methods.Workshop Structure
// 1-DAY //
1) Introduction to theory and methods:
Introduction of the overarching artistic research practice, and outlines the theory behind chemical sensing of water, and embodied exploration of the non-human other using sound based techniques.~Lunch~
2) Field trip:
Sample collection and exploration.
Workshop participants will explore a nearby body of water, collecting water and audio samples using hydrophones.3) Audio sample recording from water samples
Participants use hacked chemical sensing equipment to generate a library of water audio from water samples collected on the field trip and begin to mix the sounds together to create a soundscape of water.About Facilitator Dr Austen:
Kat Austen is a person. In her artistic practice, she focusses on environmental issues. She melds disciplines and media, creating sculptural and new media installations, performances and participatory work. Austen’s practice is underpinned by extensive research and theory, and driven by a motivation to explore how to move towards a more socially and environmentally just future.
