The pathway week of the summer semester took place at the Merz Akademie from 24 to 28 April. The regular study program was interrupted, instead the students experimented and researched at different projects and workshops, which were conducted by international guest lecturers.

The pathway projects offered in film and video were concerned with “studies on image motifs of the film and videocreation in current cinema and TV”, lecturer Benjamin Nolde and a “writing lab” with Horst Markgraf. In the New Media projects, the students were concerned with “electronic circuits that look alive”, lecturer Gijs Gieskes, “spatial data assignment” was the PW project of Jörg Frohnmayer.
