Our students go on a study trip to the Ars Electronica Festival in Austria, the world’s leading forum on electronic art, technology and society. Works from hundreds of artists and scientists are presented in exhibitions, demonstrations, performances, lectures, symposia, concerts, films, and more.

We educate researchers. To understand what it means to be a researcher and what various types of research are possible, we have several academic formation courses.

To understanding the (im-)possibilities of technology, one must understand its human context. For this students learn from several courses that view technology in light of being human, and vice versa.

In the course Exhibition: Science to Experience, students learn to communicate scientific insights by means of a designed experience instead of the written paper. They create audience experiences, such as installations and performances, that are hosted in a public exhibition. An important skill for future researchers.

Digital technology is not just a problem solver, but a medium in its own right. Proper technology exploration requires understanding of what a medium was, is, and can be.
To enable students in this, they are exposed to concepts around creative programming, physical computing, and creative and performing arts.
