Exhibition
Media Campus presents recent international media art in the form of 8
film programmes, two workshops and numerous student exhibits from
a total of 16 nations. In addition, a number of universities are given the
opportunity to present themselves and the degree programmes they offer
on University Day.
The Media Campus exhibition presents a selection
of contemporary, new artistic positions.
National and international contributions pave
the way for the multifarious examination of media
art at creative universities.
Various audio works accompany the visitor
to the exhibition, as well as to urban spaces.
The inner courtyard of the Kunsthalle Dominikanerkirche
is transformed into the sound box
of a mechanical audio-visual installation. The
Four Seasons is recomposed on the second
floor of the Turm Bürgergehorsam.
Interaction is the name of the game in the
Kunsthalle foyer and on the ground floor of
the Turm Bürgergehorsam. Whilst the visitor
encounters two robots in the foyer that declare
their affection for him, small devices in the
tower get physical.
The cloister is converted into a venue for an
amusing chain reaction that quotes the course
of events. Contrasting to this are two works in
the side aisle that deal with issues of recent
German history and the ecological disaster of
Fukushima using different aesthetic strategies.
Detailed information about the whole exhibition
programme can be found under the main exhibition
site 8pages 4-7).
FilmprogrammE
Deadlines and dates were thrown to the wind;
battles were waged for films. After several outbreaks
of sweat and tears, we had finally succeeded:
after viewing over 250 student works
entered by young artists from international
universities, Media Campus put all its energy
into compiling eight film programmes that
could not be more different. They range from
experimental shorts to longer documentary
films. In addition to the daily battle for one’s
identity, we also find here a colourful mixture
of tragedy, comedy, world-weariness and pathos.
After each film programme, members of
the audience are invited to ask questions and
to become acquainted with the student filmmakers,
who will be presenting themselves and
their films immediately after the screening.
Further information on the different film programmes
in alphabetical order can be found on
page 12ff, “Film programmes A–Z”.
University Day
Three high-calibre universities will be given the
chance to present themselves: professors and
representative students from BTK University of
Applied Sciences, Berlin, will be visiting Osnabrück.
They will kick off the day’s programme
by presenting their “Motion Design” degree
programme.
Following a short break, Braunschweig University
of Art will then captivate visitors to University
Day with the film programme that they
have put together specially for the occasion.
From Sweden, we welcome the Royal Institute
of Technology Stockholm. Students and their
professors will present their work “Metaphone”,
which deals with “Research in Media
Technology and Interaction Design”.
University Day offers you a great opportunity
to establish people-to-people contacts with
professors and other students.
We look forward to tapping into the lecturers’
expert knowledge and being inspired by the
fresh, creative works produced by the young,
aspiring students!

The Audiovisual
Salon
The “Audiovisual Salon” initiative sees itself
as a forum for sound art combined with
visual or performative elements, offering visitors
the opportunity to watch two audiovisual
live performances after University Day. The
Salon will kick off with an exclusive cooperation
between drone music pioneers Troum
and multimedia artist Jürgen Reble. Together
they will present a fusion of moving picture
elements created by Jürgen Reble in an elaborate
process from chemically treated slides
and Troum’s organic sound landscapes. This
performance is followed by the “Arcanum”
project by Belgian artist Pepijn Caudron alias
“Kreng”, an experimental mixture of filmnoire
visual aesthetics, theatre elements
and a sound somewhere between chamber
music, avant-garde jazz and modern horror
film soundtrack.
≥ 25 April, 21:00 h, Haus der Jugend
Lux
∑ Paul & Menno de Nooijer / LIVE-Cinema /
30:00
LUX begins with a tribute to Michelangelo’s
birth of ADAM. The power of God’s hand
starts a series of activities inside the bodies
on stage. Meanwhile everyone is floating
through the universe. Although the computer
wasn’t used to make projections, it is hard to
tell what is real and what isn’t. At the end of
LUX five angels sing a tribute to David Lynch,
In Heaven Everything Is Fine (Earaserhead).
≥ 25 April, 21:00 h, Zimmertheater
SPECIAL EFFECT
∑ Peter Burr / LIVE-Cinema / 50:00
Presentation of underground animations feat.
original music by Lucky Dragons and Seabat
To much TV „our diagnosis is also our prescription:
more oft he same!“ Video and performance
artist Peter Burr presents Special
Effect, a live television show inspired by Andrei
Tarkovsky’s 1971 film Stalker. The performance
features screenings of 18 short animations
from underground video label Cartune Xprez
and live performances by Burr involving laser
beams, green screens, and a live webcam.
≥ 26 April, 22:30 h, Haus der Jugend
EMAF Campus-Party
“NIGHTRIDE”
∑ Live: Colorist, The Von Duez; DJs: Rearviewradio,
Locoto, Mario Schoo
Live, Colorist create a sound that makes
the audience turn inwards. A fragile aura
of imploding dance music. Cologne-based
group around Caroline Kox, Fridolin Körner
and Antonio de Luca secretly advanced to
a celebrated insiders’ tip in art shows such
as Düsseldorf’s Single Club or Hug me. They
have played the Weekend Fest, for Intro and
Arte and with bands such as Future Islands
and Chromatics. Handmade synthesisers,
e-drums and a ukulele recite Werner Herzog,
develop voodooesque rhythms – and radiate
a blissful gleam. You’ll become colourist and
director of your own film.
The Von Duesz break the monotony of minimalistic
electronic music with imperfection,
improvisation and physical energy; their Tanzkraut
is now the ultimate soundtrack for submerging
and hitting the dance floor.
The evening is rounded off by DJs Rearviewradio,
owner of the Düsseldorf label “Themes
for Great Cities”, the young producer and Osnabrück
citizen-by-choice Locoto, and Mario
Schoo, co-founder of concert agency “Fundament”.
≥ 26 April, 23:00 h, Skatehall Osnabrück
Inside_
∑ Visuals: JAGO (Jagoda Chalcinska), Music:
PLEQ (Bartosz Dziadosz) / AV Perfo / 30:00
Individuals are alone, orphaned, unfit for love,
lost in modern world and imprisoned in their
own being. Confronting a man with his fears
and demons is what Jago does using images.
In this performance in which music and images
complement each other, Jago collaborates
with a composer, Bartosz Dziadosz (Pleq), who
combines elements of laptop music with drone,
down tempo and abstract glitch. The result of
this fusion is a lyrical spectacle.
≥ 27 April, 22:30 h, Haus der Jugend

“THE Aftershow”
∑ Alex Smoke + diverse DJs
Scottish DJ and producer Alex Smoke presents
his new audiovisual project called “Wraetlic”.
With a combination of ecstatic electronics and
a reactive visual show, developed in cooperation
with Japanese video artist Arch Project, he
pursues the complex paths of live performance.
Berlin resident Alex Smoke may well already
have made a name for himself, particularly in
Germany, with his performances in clubs such
as Berghain and Kater Holzig.
≥ 27 April, 24.00h, Lagerhalle
