The course will be conducted in a workshop format, combining theoretical reflection with intensive artistic experimentation. Students will engage with a variety of tools and methods at the intersection of puppetry, multimedia, and performance art.
Core areas of exploration include:
- Integration of digital and interactive media into live performance.
- Investigation of the relationship between physical objects, bodies, and their digital counterparts.
- Use of 3D scanning, virtual environments, robotics, sensor-based interaction, and generative systems.
