AIAIAI↗ is a project focusing on exploring and facilitating the use of artificial intelligence within artistic practices..


Tools for things and ideas↗ (finished in 2021) was a research project that aimed to enrich the public domain of 3D-print technologies and media with a series of artistic propositions and productions. Faculty, invited guests and ex-students were involved in this project.


Radio Roeien Met Riemens (finished in 2020) was a short-term research project on radio making, initiated by a group of students. A central archive is being assembled with sound fragments from all kinds of sources; music, but also field-recordings of nature walks. This archive was made public via an internet radio channel and events.


Virtual Reality @ KASK (finished in 2020) researched the possible uses of VR as an artistic, narrative medium, and as a virtual venue for exhibitions and performances.

Media art is a broad domain, reaching from pre-cinema to post-internet, from bio-art to artists' moving image, and from performance to the development of new soft- or hardware. It is an umbrella term for forms of art making that specifically use forms of media and technology in order to create poetic images and situations.





In the Media Art studio at KASK, students develop a personal approach to media art through courses, studio practice and projects.


In the theoretical and practical lessons, the students acquire introductory knowledge, skills and context in various media such as audio, video, digital media, programming and electronics. In the bachelor there are also a number of fundamental practical and theoretical courses that are shared by all trajectories within the Fine Arts. In the master, all the theoretical courses are offered in the form of seminars, and the students choose a number of subjects that connect to their master project.


But the core of the Media Art trajectory is the student's own studio practice, with personal mentoring by the studio teachers. In their own work the students develop their own voice and build the foundations for their subsequent art practice. On a regular basis the results of this are discussed in collective critiques.


The theoretical courses are geared towards offering a conceptual context for the individual work and help the student reflect, speak and write on their practice.


The full program of our trajectory can be consulted here↗.





Throughout the year the Media Art Studio organizes workshops, lectures, exhibitions, happenings and screenings, with partners from within and outside the institution.


Our guest list features fresh starters as well as more established names.


Our short-term projects are a platform to work on current topics and in them, students learn to collaborate.


Next to the studio work we explore the artistic field by visiting museums, artist's studio's and festivals.





The Media art studio is housed in a former textile school in Ghent, in walking distance from the Bijloke site.


We have multi-purpose and specialized working spaces in a large studio. There are facilities to work on video editing, 3D, game design, VR, AI, sound and music.


The studio is a place where students can grow in a trusted environment by working and living together. It is a place for initiative and engagement, for failing better.





an impression of the studio



The studio is also involved in a number of research projects. The students experience these in the form of workshops and the availability of very specific know how and facilities within the studio.


Currently, we are hosting two research labs: Formlab↗, a workshop for digital fabrication, and Laboratorium↗, an experimental lab for art, design and biotechnology.

These research projects are currently ongoing or have been completed.





Many of our ex-students are autonomous artists or work in the audiovisual and creative sector, in the performing arts or in education.
