Stories in Digital Media (SIDM) was a blog run by a few students and the professor Frieder Nake, part of the former Digital Media programme in the state of Bremen, Germany. By the end of the first decade of the millennium, the web and digital technology were advancing at an unprecedented pace in the social and artistic sphere. Developments were exciting, and we kept a log of some events and took time to reflect.

What you see here is a rendition of the content as it was back then, in a different, static archival representation. Enjoy this glimpse into a hopeful and exciting past.

Stuff that may be relevant for the Digital Media programme in Bremen.

i just discovered how cool our digital media programme is organized. Last semester i visited 6 lectures, 2 at HS-Bremerhaven, 2 at HfK and 2 at Uni-Bremen. After successfully finishing the courses, the respective professors promised me, that they will send the "schein" to the examination office of their university, and from there it will be forwarded to my home-university, HS-Bremerhaven. Last Thursday I thought it might be a good idea to check if all my "scheins" have reached HS-Bremerhaven. Guess what - out of six just one grade is their. And to make it even worse, this single grade is completely wrong as well. It says that I have taken a lecture at the University, which i actually have taken at HS-Bremerhaven and the grade itself also does not correspond with what the professor told me. Great. So i now now wasting my energy with trying to get my grades instead of working for my presentation tomorrow. I need a secretary (or does digital media need one?). What are your experiences with the scheins? Someone got already the Schein for any of the following lectures: "Audio Programming" (uni), "Spatial Cognition" (uni)?

    I would say: Get used to it. Basically, you have to take care of everything yourself. If you need a Schein for some reason desperately, go and get it yourself. But take the right form with you (if you can)! Also crosscheck each information at each university, as the different institutions differ in their interpretations of different rules. It gets even more complicated, if you want to "merge" different courses, eg. a 2 ECTS course in module x and 4 ECTS in module y, you want to be module x (e.g. Elective). Good luck!
