What is Media Art? What do they mean by Net Art? What has technology to do with art? During guided tours for families through the Expanded Media exhibition, which is part of the festival and located at Kunstbezirk, art educators will answer questions on 16 and 17 January as well as on 24 January 2016. Filmwinter workshops What would the sinking of the Titanic sound like if you created the score? When the Minions blow Napoleon up in the air - how would you compose the music to accompany this? In the workshop “My ear on the picture”, children aged 10 years and older can experiment on live sound recordings for a film with the musician and filmmaker Andreas Gogol. Together they can explore how the effect of the film changes through improvised sounds and noises. Bring your own instruments, every-day and found objects to create the most astonishing sounds! We are surfing, liking, and use apps and QR codes – new technologies have been expanding the reality of our lives for long. On 16 January 2016, Evelyn Hriberšek will explore future scenarios of „Augmented Realities“ with young people aged 16 and older. On the same day, everyone interested can construct a chilling light effect device made out of a vinyl disc and LEDs for cosy winter nights in the workshop “Chill Beamer”, followed by a test of what was built in the presentation “Seeing with Vinyl”. 2 On Sunday, 17 January 2016, Anja Dornieden and Juan David Gonzáles Monroy will glue, paint and assemble film strips of a special kind, demonstrating how you can make films without a camera in the workshop „Handmade Films“.
