Starting this semester  I hold a seminar at University of Siegen on the subject “The Moving Web - New Forms of visual Net Aesthetics” together with my colleague and good friend Sascha Simons.

We’ll start the course with a formal analysis of principles of construction, visual language and cultural effects of a new audiovisual net aethetics (e.g. nonlinear, interactive logics of narration or the convergence with established form languages). Later on, the students will write concepts for new web video formats and realize them.

Some of the subjects will be:

Web Video: Case-Analysis – Forms, formats & genres.

From the Movies to Graphical User Interface and back.
Anne Friedberg „The virtual Window - From Alberti to Microsoft“.

How becomes video visible on the net? Platforms and logocs of presentation.

New forms of storytelling and aesthetics in editorial formats

Genuine Aesthetics? Non-Linearity and Self-Reflexivity
