In collaboration with the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences’ Hagenberg Campus, the 7th Expanded Animation symposium carries on a process launched in 2013 — mapping the wide-ranging domain of animated worlds of imagery beyond the well-trodden paths.

Innovationsforum GET.Inspired
The power of individual technology groups and their exclusive role in shaping the future is increasingly subject to criticism. We are called upon to critically question and actively participate, instead of remaining passive victims of digital change. People and companies show how, by thinking against all rules, new paths can be taken outside the comfort zone.
Panel: Theatre in the Digital Age
How can digital technology add to the magical, theatrical moment? Digital theatre entails a multitude of approaches and perspectives.

100 Jahre Bauhaus: We are not alone
THU 5.9. | 11:00 – 12:30: The panel introduces lecturers who in recent years have devoted themselves to arts education that straddles the humanities and the natural sciences. The experiences gained through this examination of science and art find expression in an original theory as well as in the artistic practice of students, sometimes over several generations. We would like to take the time for a critical inventory that not only leads to skepticism, but also to a change in the design of cultural technology. Teachers from various disciplines will explain approaches developed from the encounter of art practice and theory at art colleges. The focus is on the adventures and visions that manifest themselves 100 years after the euphoria of the Bauhaus.
