Die Klasse expanded cinema beschäftigt sich mit medialen, öffentlichen und virtuellen Räumen. Durch die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit einer visuell und akustisch vernetzten Welt reagieren wir auf die wachsende Automatisierung und Verflechtung von sozialen Räumen und kognitiver Technologien. Schwerpunkte der künstlerische Bildung und Forschung sind die Weiterentwicklung des zeitgenössischen bewegten Bildes, experimentelle Erzählungen und raumgreifende Installationen.

The expanded cinema class deals with media, public and virtual spaces. Through the critical engagement in a visually and acoustically connected world, we observe and respond to the growing automation and reticulation of social environments and cognitive technologies. Our artistic education and research focuses on the further development of the contemporary moving image, experimental narrations and spatial installations.

„The Illusion of a Crowd“ by Clemens von Wedemeyer (01.10.2020, 17:30 Uhr)

A talk about digital hordes and physical ones, in the sense of an impulsive collective of immaterial and affected bodies, as a menace and as sources of solidarity. What happens when they grow exponentially? How can their behavior be predicted, and what are their effects on the individual? “The crowd not only acts upon the human being who is inside it and exposed to it, its agency within him persists when he is alone and isolated, and its effect on him is sometimes strongest in his greatest isolation.” (Elias Canetti).
