Between analog and digital teaching, questions arise and demand an intensive examination of the topic of digitality:

How can digital and analog artistic-creative processes be intertwined? What are the opportunities and limitations? How can creative and artistic work be translated into digital formats? How can these support the work and how can translation processes be promoted? How does the creative process change, as well as the way art and design can be experienced and applied? And last but not least, what can BURG as a designer of digital tools and networks contribute to the further digital transformation and how can everyone develop an attitude towards digital issues?

These are the questions and possible answers that the Studium Digitale team at BURG is working on as of now. We are agile in responding to requests and are able to respond to and follow up on time shortages. We follow, understand and mediate digital and technological developments and we invite all people at BURG to become part of the project.

For students: 

We give introductions to and encourage experimental work with digital tools, design workshops in the semester in art and design on the topics of "digital design work and prototyping", "digital publishing", the common creative programmes and encourage participation in digital formats with laptop lending. We also support student projects in the Studios Digitale. You can find our current events and workshops under News.

For lecturers:
We organise interdisciplinary training in digital publishing, 3D design work and legal requirements and offer technical support for digital and hybrid presentations, documentation and exhibitions.

For administration and studios:
We advise and support with digital and hybrid event formats e.g. for student recruitment, trainings and workshops or for creating video tutorials.

eSALSA

In the joint project eService-Agentur für die Hochschulen im Land Sachsen-Anhalt (eSALSA), eight universities are participating in the development of a state-wide support structure for the digitisation of higher education teaching. Regarding complex didactic, technical and legal issues, the network develops innovative solutions for everyday learning and teaching situations. Also, the project serves as a platform for knowledge transfer and stimulates synergies between the heterogeneous expertise of the universities.

Burg Giebichenstein is involved in the eSALSA key topics of "(Online) Professionalization" and "Hybrid Teaching". As the only art university in the network, the BURG represents the perspective of a learning and teaching environment determined by artistic and creative processes. The BURG is committed to represent the relevant needs for a creative, enlightened and self-determined digitality and related interests in a sustainable way.

The eSALSA project will be funded by the ”Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre” with financial resources from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research for a period of two and a half years from October 2021. After the end of the funding period, the project will be continued in the form of a state initiative.

The artistic-design research project at weißensee kunsthochschule berlin is concerned with discrimination-sensitive hybrid learning spaces for research-based and project-oriented teaching. With the shared goal of finding and answering questions about digital influences in art, design and teaching, the BURG  (Studium Digitale) is in exchange with the weißensee kunsthochschule berlin (+dimensions) to discuss similar questions, challenges and opportunities at their art colleges in the context of digital developments and to transfer solutions.

A first meeting took place in November 2022 as a workshop at the Kunsthalle on Hamburger Platz, where buildings and working spaces were shown, approaches to solutions, sub-projects and experiments were presented and discussed.
