Time Based Media

How can Time Based Media participate in world-making and in opening up possibilities for the otherwise?

How could we experiment speculatively, performatively and materially with a wide spectrum of new technologies, as well as draw from the obsolete, excluded or forgotten?
How could we rethink sensing, computable and cognitive media not as tools for domination or as threats, but as interacting forces of resonance and response?
What can we learn from spontaneous, unpredictable and situated encounters?

The Time-based Media program covers the basics and traditional aspects of the moving image (film, video, sound) as well as is dedicated to the exploration of the media technology developments of our time, such as XR, emergent media and AI. The program is interdisciplinary and therefore open to students of fine arts and design. It can be studied as a complementary course, in conjunction with other programs or as a specialization.

As part of the program we engage with past, present and future time based media practices and processes. Through research, workshops, projects, excursions, festivals and exhibitions we investigate and experiment with analogue and digital techniques and formats, including video, film, sound, VR, AR as well as sensing, interactive and emergent media. Within the program we look into what role technologies play in shaping our realities, as well as search for ways to break away from standardisation and dominance in systems.
In the center stands the individual (or collective) work in form of experimental films and media projects. The aim is to encourage the students to develop their unique artistic expressions and fields of research, including to critically reflect and situate their work in a socio-cultural context. Further aims are to foster and encourage collaborative research, experimentation & exchange.
Our programs artist talks, screenings, salons and symposiums allows students to come in contact with a range of perspectives, discourses and practices within the expanding field of time based media. Guest speakers SoSe 25 include Kyriaki Goni, Elisa Giardina Papa, Rindon Johnson and Jenna Sutela.
As part of The Centre of Media the program provides exceptional opportunity to build interdisciplinary research and networks within and outside of University. The Muthesius Media lab, DLC and the workshops offer unique possibilities to learn and deepen technical skills, as well as to experiment with and critical engage with different technologies. The department’s media workshops are equipped with a wide range of professional equipment and technologies for both production and presentation, as well as offers support from its expertise.
