The ITT creativity workshop is focused on an introduction to the process, conceptualization, technical handling and implementation of multimeidia installations and performances - „stage“ performance of an audiovisual work, from technical and aesthetic aspects.Contemporary artwork, kinetic, multimedia, and interactive objects, installations or performances often require non-standard technical handling, joining the use of mechanical, electronic, optical, acoustic and other systems. The IIM creative workshop introduces the context in which those concepts and implementations are generated and we will search for the optimal technical and artistic treatments according to the the ideas and focus of the individual workshop participants. Fundamental to this is to judge the functionability and feasibility of the proposed treatment, clearly and distinctly articulate one's project, assemble its description, visualization and presentation, discuss its origin and processes, To learn to estimate investment and time necessary for implementation, to find suppliers of necessary parts and specialists for consultation and implementation. The workshop focuses, primarily, on creative use of a wide spectrum of devices and expression tools which may be used in the IIM lab spaces. Parts of the workshop can be individual and team concepts and model handlings of intermedia projects, discussions on the used scale of the sample devices, their linking, image formats (slides, video, film), experimental use of projection surfaces (objects, colors, textures), various sources of lighting (artificial, natural) of various models of arranging multiprojection, development and working with multichannel sound, and possibly linking interactivity to the installation, or performance form.

Parts of the course are:

1. An outline overview of the history and issues of multi-media installations and audio-visual performance.

2. Basic terminology, categories, or some important works and figures.

3. Lectures and presentations by FAMU guest lecturers.
