‚Open Lab’ emphasizes creativity and collaboration and is designed for anyone interested in sound, music, and technology. This course integrates principles of electronics, acoustics, and music theory with their artistic applications. It offers participants the opportunity to engage with technology, particularly for their own sound-related art projects. The course demonstrates how fundamental music technologies—such as oscillators, sound generators, filters, mixers, and speakers—function and how they can be utilized in the contexts of stage performance, music production, or sound art. Additionally, techniques are taught to build interactive sound environments and instruments using sensors, microcontrollers, and computers. Through group projects, participants can complete smaller works suitable for exhibitions or concert performances. Open Lab encourages also independent experimentation of ideas, supports collaborative projects, and provides guidance through theoretical input and hands-on workshop sessions.
