The study course provides knowledge and practical skills for creative production in sound, audiovisual arts and electronic music. It provides a deeper understanding of the historic context, creative methods and innovations in the fields of sound, audiovisual arts and electronic music through participation in 3 online lectures (the virtual component of the study course). The virtual component will consist of an introductory presentation and two online lectures by the festival “Sound Days” curators and a guest lecturer. After each lecture the participants will be given individual self-study work, they are expected to reflect on the covered topics and how they connect to their own experience. The self-study tasks will be evaluated during the festival week.
The on-site component of the course consists of a participation in a 5 days workshop with a public presentation of the creative work as a final task. The study course gives the student the agency and the ability to develop and deeply engage with a topic of his choice by choosing to enrol and create an artwork in one of the 8-10 practise based, hands-on workshops led by a professional artist over the course of 5 days.
