This Creative Community format is aimed at all those who have worked in MXL in the last few semesters – have taken technical seminars such as “How to Use the MXL” or Creative Tech / Mo Cap, and have realised MXL projects or are also aiming for intermediate/ BA / MA work in the Image & Motion field (and thus in MXL). This course is to be understood as an open lab for MXL culture, creative tech talk and exchange, as well as a consultation hour with Marco Bodenstein and Prof. NJU. 
In this time slot, we would like to meet informally in MXL and get to know each other better and exchange ideas like in a café; in order to plan and discuss media-artistic works technically and in terms of content, and to give and receive feedback on the fields of action of MXL. The MXL publication States of Motion serves as a basis here. With this, we would like to sharpen the focus on the main areas of the MXL. It is about media-artistic design formats, experimental aesthetics with and through combined AV technologies and research questions that always also question the performative, the physical, the emotional, topics on embodiment, movement and spatial design – and the interplay of all of these. The exchange is intended to stimulate future projects, teaching and research proposals and create a “common ground”. Anyone who wants to work in MXL in the future, is curious to learn more or is already working on something MXL-related is welcome to come. We will lead sessions loosely to not at all, but still try to cluster topics and build peer groups.
It is recommended to take the Image & Motion seminar “States of Motion: Into the Life Stream 2” after the 2-hour block.
