Manifest:IO Symposium 2024
Led by SRH lecturer Harshini Karunaratne and the team at TimeLab, the ‘Symposium for New Media and Electronic Art’ allowed our master students to show off their visual storytelling skills.
Based in the Alte Münze in Berlin, the event gave them excellent exposure, where they could make a name for themselves in the expansive Berlin creative scene.
The artists and art enthusiasts experienced a unique space to engage in creative showcases, performances and workshops, which encorporated innovative uses of technology.
Student Trip to Łódź, Poland
In a vibrant fusion of academia and creativity, SRH Master students embarked on an unforgettable excursion to Poland.
This enriching journey was not just a trip, but a significant educational exchange with the renowned Łódź Film School.
The highlight of the visit was their attendance at the prestigious ‘Fotofestiwal’ in Łódź, a melting pot of innovative photography and cinematic talent.
The Erasmus+ international exchange programme (co-funded by the European Union) generously supported our excursion, reflecting their commitment to fostering cultural and educational experiences across Europe.

AD2186
AD2186 revolves around the total solar eclipse that will take place on the 16th of July 2186 - the longest total solar eclipse between the New Stone Age and the year 6000 (CE). The project discusses the mass psychological effects of observing a total eclipse of the sun and integrates the cognitive shift that occurs, which has meanwhile been proven by initial studies just months ago.
By observing a total solar eclipse, a so-called self-transcendental state can be experienced, through which the observers physically and psychologically perceive themselves less as individuals and identify more strongly with a collective and their environment. The effects are increased prosocial behaviour, collective-focused thinking and a sense of connectedness.
