Purpose and description of the content of education:
The "Sound Arts and Technologies" module aims to foster creativity in the field of sound art through the use of modern technologies. The workshop-based course allows students to experiment with various sound technologies and their applications in the artistic context. During the workshops, students will work on projects that blend theory with practice and develop skills in sound creation and manipulation within different multimedia environments. The module also covers technical aspects, such as audio equipment operation, sound programming, and sound interaction design. Classes will include hands-on sessions in labs and individual consultations with instructors. Students will be encouraged to approach sound creatively and explore new artistic forms. Combining theory, technology, and creativity allows students to create unique sound projects that exemplify a modern approach to sound art.
