THOMAS KOCH |
6th#residency
|
July - Oct 2018
The sixth residencyhas been offered to Thomas Koch is a freelance sound engineer specialized in the use of immersive audio technologies, working on both the technical and artistic sides of audiovisual media. In 2010, Koch joined Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute's TiME Lab project to investigate new uses of 3D-Audio technologies in the context of immersive video environments. His practice-oriented Seminars (University of Arts, SRH Hochschule der populären Künste in Berlin) introduces to the technological, creative and market potential of immersive media technologies. Alongside his research activities, Koch works with media artists to design and realize concepts for the use of modern audio reproduction technology in artistic projects. Koch will offer a workshop in Fall 2018 aiming at giving basic insights into the current state of the technological developments of modern audio- and video production and reproduction systems (with an emphasis on capturing 3D-audio and 360°-video), as well as hands-on exercise exploring their artistic potential and challenges. Artists and content producers are challenged to rethink everything we learned about working with media technology and rethink both the high complexity of the technologies and workflows, as well as the (rapidly reducing) technical limitations of new media, as well as strong artistic positions (or commercial applications) which make use of these new possibilities.

Alongside his research activities, he works with media artists to design and realize concepts for the use of modern audio reproduction technology in artistic projects. In 2010, he joined Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute's TiME Lab project to investigate new uses of 3D-Audio technologies in the context of immersive video environments. His work is mainly focused on reproduction formats like Wave Field Synthesis, multichannel 3D-Audio reproduction systems and binaural audio for VR and AR applications. Since 2013, he is teaching the class 'Raumkomposition' in the postgraduate (Master) program Sound Studies at the University of Arts, Berlin with an emphasis on balancing the use of innovative technology with integrity of artistic concept. Since 2016, he is also teaching 'Klang und Raum' at SRH Hochschule der populären Künste (hdpk). His practice-oriented Seminars introduces to the technological, creative and market potential of immersive media technologies.
