About the course

"Shaping Media" can be read both as active and passive, as "the medium that shapes" or "the medium that is to be shaped". This seminar will use the notion of medium as an artificial, but hardly visible conceptual space, formed by personal expectations, cultural conventions and technical restrictions. A medium is a "possibility space" (Will Wright / Niklas Luhmann) which can be created or be used for creation, to foster e.g. learning. Pedagogic Media Theory is an approach to include cultural, media historical, and educational aspects for understanding existing and developing new medial environments for teaching (sic) and learning.
