Impressions of the workshop week

29.10.2021

From October 25 to 29, the workshop week of the winter semester 2021/22 took place. The regular course of studies was interrupted, i.e. instead of the regular seminars, the students worked, researched and experimented in interdisciplinary projects and workshops of interantional guest lecturers who were invited for the workshop week.

Guest lecturer Antony Rayzhekov was funded under the staff mobility of the Erasmus+ program. His workshop “Experimental Media” dealt with graphic-based programming with VVVV and Arduino among others for the use of biofeedback sensors.
