Exhibition
With the Media Technology MSc programme we have taken
OBSOLETE as the global theme for this year’s semester project
exhibition. Our intent was to explore this theme in the broadest
sense (social, philosophical, biological, etc.) and make associations
with terms like unique, useless and mutation. The students have
been collaborating in groups of three where each group has been
asked to choose one of the sub-themes.
The semester project has three phases. First of all the students are
asked to look into their themes and come up with everything that is
possibly related. After gaining insight in the theme they are asked to
formulate compelling statements. Once this is done they are asked
to translate their statement in a work that can be exhibited in a
group exhibition.
The students will host the exhibition themselves and are open to
answer any questions related to the process they’ve gone through.
Although the exhibited works should speak for themselves we
believe it is interesting to hear what has taken place before and is
not included in the final work.
