Open Real Time Games Workshop – Digital tools for professional game development

This seminar is offered at the Technical University of Munich in Informatics: Games Engineering. The course focuses on the experimental examination of digital tools for professional game development – both in modeling and game programming as well as in the integration of interaction devices and methods (e.g.: BioFeedback, Eyetracking, Gaze and Gesture etc.). In the form of a practical seminar, the project work is carried out on the basis of a practical problem.

What our world looks like, simply depends on our way of reasoning. It is our different paradigms that shape and form our world.

Presentation at MTL Connect 2021 . October 12th | 12:00 – 12:30 PM (EST – Hour of Montréal)

Ideal Architecture is Utopia

It never leaves the space of image and text. Only there is it alive and present for a fleeting moment. “Ou-topos”, the non-place, becomes an open projection surface for our dreams and wishes, not to be localized, neither in time nor in space. The utopian ideal stands for a distant, unreachable country and at the same time for a distant, not yet reached future and an irretrievable past. The ideal exists somewhere in between – between text and image, between viewer and content. The utopian ideal is simultaneously never and nowhere.
