Screen Gym with Anna-Louise Lorenz dealt with vertical and horizontal modes of media displays,  placements and screen plays corelating with the movement of body, while in the design research project series of “VRenice Beach” the realm of a Museum of Moving Surreality set the scene for all sort of virtual worldbuilding and exploratory encounters. Dr. Thomas Hawranke came as a visiting teacher to engage through his expertise for animal perspectives in Animal & Animatronics which led to video essays of different animals’ . Stefanie Grawe and Benjamin Stephan were invited to develop with Prof. Juric the audio-visual CI for the MXL with a sounddesign project and a motion design package project where all cases by the students should be produced in a way to be sustainably used till now. Also you find a double page with an international design collaboration project dedicated to different topics like (Non)Imaginary Spaces, Future of VR Magazines or 360°: Motion Experiences, which Prof. Juric is executing with Parsons New School of Technology Art and Media since 2018.

Other technical seminars rather serve as technical courses, which set the students in touch and practice with the wired infrastructure in the MXL, so they learn how to use DMX, Optitracks MoCap System, Controllers, VR Systems, Touchdesigner, AI tech or Blender in interconnection with use cases like installations, video production, visual music or performative motion design. 

You find guest scientific contributions i.e. by Prof. Dr. Lasse Scherffig about design, computation and motion or Dr. Thomas Hawranke and a conversation about and in AI between Prof. Nina Juric and Anna Louise Lorenz. We are very honored to present you aswell an exclusive feature of and interview with Berlin based reknown media artist friend of the MXL Robert Seidel.
