Stuff that may be relevant for the Digital Media programme in Bremen.
I just stumpled upon Stephan Scholdra´s documentation of his bachelor report which he submitted recently to retrieve his bachelor degree. And I must commit that I´m really impressed so far!

The course “Eventual Design: Exploring Another Approach to Making Things That Make Things Happen” from Nathan Felde had to be canceled for personal reasons.
the stupid thing is that those people who need this module missed the beginning of other courses which have started already (not me luckily).

Just to make an conclusion of the last days as an junior master, new to the graduate programme. And to the University of Bremen.
Groups formed already, but, as in most of the cases, known people stick together. And as I´m a stranger to all of them I try to get in contact to the internationals. Know how hard It could be to be abroad and to get involved within a new enviroment, had also been abroad for my mandatory exchange term in Riga, Latvia.
The lectures started at all universities now and the most of the new students arrived in the master programme as well as in the bachelor degree courses.
There´ll be the master retreat at Verden on November 6th and as I´m an junior in the master programme I´m really looking forward to it.
To give an brief overview: There are 5 projects which will start in the next term, mandatory lectures started already and it´s up to us to form our groups in the next weeks, months. Just have look at the projects page on the official programmes website to retrieve an overview.
So, I´m a parcitipant within the upcoming Serious Games : Entertainment Computing project at the university. Recently I stumbled upon this blog called acagamic.com of an Ph.D. Candidate in the research field of Serious Games. His academic presentations are also online on slideshare . Could be also of interest for the parcitipants of the mobile gaming project at the University of Applied Sciences Bremen ?
Might be the right to time to distribute the url of this blog and to have a look if there´ll be a bit more parcitipation in the future to improve the communication between the different projects and institutions? We´ll see.
Art and Electronic Media
After last year’s Mark Amerika workshop, there will be another compart workshop – this year with art historian Edward Shanken. It will happen from the 13th until the 17th of July at the OAS @ Linzer Straße in Bremen. Shanken recently published a comprehensive book on electronic art, Art and Electronic Media. Rhizome just published a short review of the book here.
