PROJECTS

The project category in the publication gives an extensive overlook to a selection of diverse short term, mid term and long term projects offered to students in the context of the MXL since 2019-2022. Most follow a practice based research approach, other were applied collaboration cases and other international collaborations. Generally, the MXL is a place where external artists and designers are very welcome and needed. From Living Sculptures Performance with designed robot costumes, which had to deal with all sort of movements in patterns translated into a live action play, brought in scene together with Zeitguised for the MXL#04, to Silly Walks & Cyborgs, which was a dedication to walk cycles and gaits of creatures in the world of animation, to VR projects in the MXL#05: The Experience of the Pictureless, where teams research on new ways of representations of proteins and storytelling to make the invisible visible in cooperation with EMBL, Heidelberg instructed together with Tobias Wüstefeld.

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.
