Apple will delay the construction of a secondary research and development building campus in an attempt to drive down the cost of developing its new headquarters.

EMAF is one of the most influential forums of international Media Art. As a meeting point for artists, curators, distributors, galleries and an audience of experts the festival has a great impact on the topics and aesthetics of Media Art. Each year the festival offers its visitors a current overview of experimental films, installations, performances, digital formats and hybrid forms, ranging from personal and political subjects or formal experiments to provocative statements from the pulsating area of “Media Art – Society”. The Festival sees itself as a place of experimentation and a laboratory where extraordinary works, experiments and ventures are created and presented.

In the workshop, participants will create a video animation which will be projected onto objects and sculptures they’ve also created together from drawings, origami figures, wood engravings, engravings or paper-cuts.
