Video-Related Media is an artistic seminar in the Class of Digital Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. It explores strategies and methods developed by artists working with video and film, and how these can be translated into one’s own artistic practice. Through screenings, discussions, analyses, and guest lectures, the seminar engages with contemporary video art, fosters a critical understanding of the moving image, and supports the development of individual artistic works.

The guest lecture takes place in cooperation between the Department of Digital Arts and the Ursula Blickle Video Archive.

The lecture will be held in spoken English.
