TRANS ... genre, medium, context, discipline, materiality, aesthetics,
identities, gender ...
What does transmediality mean? In the best case, this concept guarantees
the greatest possible freedom beyond rigid boundaries of media, genres or disciplines. The claim to transmediality implies
that forms of mediation come into view in all their diversity and interweaving. For this, it is important to grasp each medium
in the spectrum and history of its identity. Through such a practice - precise analyses instead of "anything goes" - the best
forms of expression and translations for the respective contents can be developed.
The studio for
transmedia arts promotes experimental approaches and the development of alternatives. A primary curiosity for the unknown
gives rise to inspiration and new connections. The weekly Jour Fixe is intended to promote individual agency, productive cooperation
in groups and the formation of a class collective. Aesthetic and material-technical decisions are understood as sensual strategies
that are inextricably linked with socio-political issues. In confrontation with art history, contemporary movements, natural
sciences and cultural studies as well as technological developments, the artistic practice can also have a transformative
effect on public discourses.
