RESONATE
You can’t teach competencies, you have to acquire them yourself. This is how I understand my task as teacher: to invite, inspire and support the participants in their projects. The main goal is to create an optimal learning environment for everyone and to tune them into their own frequencies so that an orchestra sounds.

STEIM
STEIM (STudio for Electro Instrumental Music) is a center for research and development of new musical instruments in the electronic performing arts, located in Amsterdam. Electronic music in STEIM’s context is always strongly related to the physical and direct actions of a musician. In this tradition, STEIM supports artists by residences, such as composers and performers, but also multimedia and video artists and assists them to develop setups which allow for improvisation and performance with individually designed technology.
+ Nicolas Collins + was the artistic director between 1992 and 1995.

AUDIO LASER
This experiment investigates how audio can be transmitted through the air. The signal is overlapped with the laser beam (analog circuit) and then picked up by a solar panel. The solar panel is connected to a simple amplifier that drives a loudspeaker. Klick the link below to watch the video on Instagram.

BEAUTY ALGORITHM
We go in search of the beauty in algorithms and discuss what effect computer-generated images have on us, what is perceived as aesthetic and why. Can beauty be captured in a mathematical formula? To finde out that, students created sketches and ideas with pen and paper and do the final realization via a browser-based software called p5.js.
