Content

Creative Technology Research & Practice consist of a combination of classes and individual research in which various technical, material and methodical aspects of artistic research in relation to MADtech are explored. The purpose is for students, either independently or in cooperation, to explore current material, technology and methodical practices, and investigate how to apply these in their work in such a way that they develop their own position from pre-figured tools and pre-conceptualised working methods as well as develop strategies to critically evaluate these. In consultation with the guiding tutor(s) the course leaves room for individual exploration of techniques, materials and methods outside of or in addition to group sessions on offer. Creative Technology Research & Practice classes on offer in the other profiles are named LABs and may also be considered, provided they have sufficient spots available for guest attendances.   
 
The instructional modes are action learning, practical/training, problem-based learning. Active attendance and participation, and/or documented results of individual explorations, are mandatory to receive the total of 5 EC.
