Launch of the web documentation and screening of selected full-length theory videos
Talk with the video makers

From winter semester 20/21 to summer semester 23, Juliane Jaschnow and Dieter Daniels developed a new format in the theory department at the HGB: so-called "TheorieVideos", which translate independent, theory-based content into an audiovisual medium. The form depends on the respective content and is developed independently by the students. This interplay of form and content distinguishes the "theory videos" from the "classic" theory performance of an oral or written presentation. this format, which was initially developed during online teaching, has also proven itself in hybrid face-to-face teaching. Tailored to the specific potential of students at an art academy, it gives them the opportunity to expand their creative or artistic skills to theoretical subject areas.

A seminar group consists of both producers and recipients who not only consume video content in this way, but also use the medium in an active and media-reflective way. The shared workspace on the NextCloud can be described as a "digital studio", a collaborative extension of conventional, solitary work on theoretical texts. In addition, "theory videos" are often also discussed in specialist artistic studies. This format thus contributes to the interdisciplinarity between theory and practice that is central to the HGB.
