Course description:
This program offers students the chance to elevate their ceramic art skills through attending conferences, visits, and practicing on clay. Each student will have the opportunity to craft their own ceramic masterpiece, which will be displayed in a museum in Barcelona the concluding day.

A workshop explores the unique ceramic language developed by two former students of Llotja – Joan Miró and Llorens Artigas. Their work is directly related to the Japanese Mingei movement, particularly in their interaction with Hamada Shoji during their stay on the island in 1966. In their different contexts, these artists shared a common understanding of the social function of ceramics and the catalan or japanese art tradition. They worked together to create global forms in a world in a transition design.

Course description:

The core concept centres around the idea of emergence in non-human communication between interactive artworks. We will explore this possibility in the context of interactive art.

The workshop aims to bring people together to brainstorm ideas for interactive works, create them, and place them in a singular space so the artworks can interact with each other and form unexpected and unplanned connections. Through the use of microphones, cameras, motion sensors, motors, programming, networks perhaps the works/objects/installations can form feedback loops and also break them to create unforeseen relationships.

A person who can help with the technical questions (programming, soldering) will join in so everyone who has ideas can participate regardless of how much experience they have with soldering and coding.

The space that we will use is called the “Šachmatinė salė” (checkered hall). It is not a white cube, but quite a liminal space that has a striking pattern and no clear purpose.

Virtual Component (before physical mobility):

During the virtual component we will discuss a paper on the Strategies of interactive art  and brainstorm ideas for the works that we want to create during the workshop. Having a general idea will help us get the necessary equipment and tools beforehand.

Benefits (provided by VDA): coffee breaks and cultural programme
