Workshop: Art in Dialog with the Machine

Artificial intelligence as a creative assistant – course for creatives

This multi-day workshop is aimed at creatives who have had little contact with new digital tools and are curious about how artificial intelligence can enrich their own artistic process.

The focus is on “prompting” – the art of using language to create images. Step by step, you will learn how to experiment with AI, develop visual ideas and expand your own visual language. Along the way, you will learn how AI can be used in other areas of artistic creation. Together we will explore where analog practice and digital possibilities meet: as a source of ideas, a sketching aid or an impulse for new perspectives.

Artificial intelligence as your personal assistant – nothing more and nothing less! No technical knowledge required – just a desire to explore new creative territory.

Loop

Guided tour for children through the exhibition “Loop – Agnes Jänsch, Johannes Karl” on June 1, 2014, BBK Gallery, Kulturhaus Abraxas Augsburg.

Organizer: BBK Schwaben Nord & Augsburg e.V.

Organization & support: Erika Kassnel-Hennebreg

“A loop is the constant repetition of a sequence of sounds, images, behaviors or trains of thought – a temporal loop and in a way also a paradox: despite continuous movement, there is no progress and the person caught in the loop always returns to the same starting point. Time passes and yet at the same time seems to stand still. The loop is a kind of cycle in time from which there seems to be no way out. Agnes Jänsch and Johannes Karl, both artists in Munich who focus on moving images and video, are fascinated by the loop, as it is present in many ways in our everyday lives. The loop plays an important role as a life principle in the form of many people’s habits and quirks. It gives them the opportunity to find security in recurring events and behaviors that allow them to ignore other issues. At the same time, the permanent repetition of images and sounds plays an important role in contemporary art as an exciting artistic design tool. The LOOP exhibition in the gallery of the BBK Schwaben Nord and Augsburg shows several video works that work with the stylistic device of the loop. As a result, they operate at the interface between photography and film. While Johannes Karl quotes and animates figures from historical paintings for his works, Agnes Jänsch refers to found photographs.

The Boy on the Moor

Art Theater Project Week for Deaf Schoolchildren

StartWorkshop

Cooperation partners: Förderzentrum HÖREN Augsburg, Junges Theater Augsburg, actress Nicola Rappel; Location: Kulturhaus Abraxas, Sommestraße 30, 86156 Augsburg

The starting point was the ballad “Der Knabe im Moor” (The Boy on the Moor) by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff. The children developed an improvised narrative theater piece with pantomime scenes that tells a story about fear of the forces of nature. They were supported in the staging by actress and theater educator Nikola Rappel.

Homemade masks made from recycled and natural materials, created under the guidance of artist Erika Kassnel-Henneberg, served as imaginative props and at the same time challenged the children to find alternative uses for them in order to meet their special needs.
