Tessa Knapp is an artist and professor who specializes in space- and time-based media art. In her lecture, she will explore how artistic creation can describe and initiate transformative forces in media-critical, socio-political and introspective spaces.

During her talk, she will share insights into her creative processes, which incorporate performative, participatory, and intermedia practices involving moving images, sound, voice, text, light, the body, and space.

She will conclude with a presentation of student work, showcasing some of the videographic, sculptural and performative approaches to space- and time-based art by her class. She will also present two curated video programmes by students at the Alanus University of Arts and Social Sciences in Germany.
