Workshop for school groups on “Steina Playback”
Steina (born 1940, Reykjavík, Iceland) is regarded as a pioneer of media art. A classically trained violinist, she turned to the medium of video in the late 1960s. In her practice, she creates images through sound and vice versa. The exhibition “Steina. Playback” bears witness to her great enthusiasm for experimentation in image processing and, at the same time, raises highly topical questions about the perception of machine-generated images.
After visiting the exhibition, we will head to our Open Atelier. Sound. There, pupils can experiment with synthesizers, drum machines and acoustic effects. They will learn how sounds are created and how they can be altered.
Age
The workshop is recommended for pupils from Year 5 onwards.
Duration
approx. 2 hours

School group tour of “Tomás Saraceno. Ancestral Futures”
Tomás Saraceno (b. 1973) is an artist who explores ecological and social issues. For the exhibition “Tomás Saraceno. Ancestral Futures” at the Haus der Kunst, he has created a unique artwork in collaboration with people from northern Argentina, which highlights the residents’ struggle against lithium mining in their home region.
Another project is the Museo Aero Solar, a giant balloon made from used plastic bags that can fly without any petrol or batteries – powered solely by the sun’s heat and the air. Tomás Saraceno dreams of a day when people can travel without polluting the earth.
The exhibition offers many opportunities to discuss environmental issues and the coexistence of humans and animals in the world with schoolchildren.
