The practice-oriented training at the HfG is also reflected in the excellently equipped workshops and studios. Projects in almost any form can be realized here. The diverse workshop and studio introductory courses lay the foundation for the professional realization of your own projects.
In the workshops, prototypes developed in seminars are realized under expert guidance: Everything is possible, from furniture and lamps to unique ceramic pieces, from self-printed posters to solar cycles. The focus is always on the students' ideas, which they work together to realize.
The HfG's focus on new media is reflected in the well-equipped studios for film, photography, sound and 3D. In addition to the latest technical standards, analog formats are also included. A highlight is the multifunctional large studio with the latest lighting, sound and recording systems. With its excellent equipment, it offers outstanding conditions for concerts, performances, theater performances, lectures or film recordings.
The library, which is run jointly with the ZKM, is available to students for academic work. The continuously expanding collection currently comprises around 90,000 books and other media. Thematically, the library focuses primarily on the areas of art and media art, media theory, art studies and design. The collection is openly accessible by subject and thus offers optimal opportunities for intensive research.
