Future Day 2026

In the Audio Lab at the Digital Media workshop, you can explore music from a new perspective using Strudel, a live coding environment for sounds and beats. No prior musical experience is required – all you need is curiosity and a willingness to experiment. We will begin with existing examples in Strudel, break down smaller scripts into their individual components, and take a closer look at how they function.

At the HfK Bremen’s OpenLab, the InteractionLab and the Workshop for Electronic Experiments offer insights into the intersection of technology, design and programming code. Interactive ideas take shape amidst 3D printing, lasers, sensors and microcontrollers. Future Day provides a space for experimentation, collaborative thinking and joint development.

Together, we’ll work on a short animated clip using the manual stop-motion technique. We’ll choose an overarching theme and decide which materials to use, then bring them to life by stringing together individual frames.

Cyanotype is one  ft he oldest photographic processes. In this workshop, you will use this historic technique to create your own images. Together, we will collect plants and arrange them on a light-sensitive coated surface. The prints will then be developed, resulting in richly detailed contact prints in deep blue tones.

We will create a picture frame and a flower pot by decorating both items individually with mosaic tiles.

Step by step, your bag takes shape – from cutting the fabric to the final stitch. You’ll be given an introduction to using the sewing machine and learn the basics of sewing. A creative and hands-on experience for anyone who enjoys making things themselves!
