ighting Fundamentals – A Primer for Application and Manipulation
Workshop by Ioannis Oriwol

This hands-on workshop explores lighting as both a technical medium and creative tool for media art and design.
Participants will gain understanding of lighting technologies, from historical incandescent systems to modern LED fixtures, and learn methods for manipulating light in installations and performances.

Key topics include light source types, fixture varieties, physical modification (lenses, filters, gobos), electrical control systems, and digital manipulation through DMX programming. The afternoon session offers time for experimentation.

Ioannis Oriwol is a media artist whose practice is creatively influenced by his work in the event industry. Currently studying Media Art and Design as well as Fine Arts at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, his artistic approach is media-archaeological, working with found and historical lighting equipment to create installations and performances.

Accept All Cookies 🍪
by Elif Kalender

Accept All Cookies is an interactive installation that reimagines surveillance as a reactive presence, rather than a central, all-seeing eye.

Visitors are invited to “accept the cookies” by taking one, triggering sensors that activate the surveillance state. The work highlights how we constantly give away personal data online, often without realizing it.

Two moving head lights are placed at opposite ends of a corridor.

Phase 1 – The Search
As long as no one takes a cookie, the lights move randomly on the X and Y axes, scanning as if searching for their next subject.

Phase 2 – State of Surveillance
When someone reaches for a cookie, the sensors activate and the system locates the visitor. The lights immediately shift from passive search to active tracking. The visitor becomes the observed.

Summaery 2025 | This is (not) a Networking Event

We will probably soon reach the figure of 50 billion when we look at the things and objects that are connected to the Internet.

Who is actually communicating with whom in an ever-evolving world of networked objects and systems?

The exhibition explored playful, mysterious, imaginative, and ecological ways of dealing with things and objects that communicate, exchange information, and relate to each other.
