Description:
In this laboratory we will explore the use of light, sound and image in the performing arts and experiment with natural sources aswell as everyday technical exquipments that surround us. There will be a focus on environmental friendly solutions, energy saving and recycling. Students will work in groups on assignments, presentations and openings exploring ways of using “found” techincal objects creating light, sound and image for performance or installation. The course contains dialogue, lectures and artist talks but will mainly rotate around practical experiments.

At the end of the course students should:

  • have a clear vision of how everyday technical equipment can be used in performance
  • be able to use natural light, sound and image for artistic purposes

  • know the energy usage, pollution and possible recycling of techinqual equipment
  • be able to apply technique in a responsible environmental manner
