Thinking on Screen
Workshop
2022–
︎
Thinking on Screen is workshop that experiments with audiovisual ways of articulating a thinking process. It teaches methods and approaches the video essay as a particular media form and research mode. Image, sound, and words form the essential materials for presenting thoughts on screen—amplifying voices of participants as they explore their chosen subjects.
By working with filmed or found footage and employing various montage techniques, participants can develop distinct audiovisual vocabularies as they pursue particular questions and concerns.
Blending creative practice with critical thinking, video essay approaches are engaging and relevant for designers, artists, and interdisciplinary researchers—expanding their means for material investigations and developing projects.
Thinking on Screen has run at MA Design, Visual Communication at ZHdK Zurich (2024, 2025) and MA Design Installation (Space and Communication) at HEAD Genève (2022, 2023).
