The Institute of Experimental Design and Media Cultures (IXDM) with
its Critical Media Lab is a research institute and research facility
located within the Academy of Art and Design FHNW in Basel.
Research at the lab combines practice-based and experimental
engagements of media technologies with historical and genealogical
inquiries into these very technologies and their media practices and
cultures.
In this brief glimpse behind the scenes of the lab, the director and
researchers of the institute introduce some of the many-faceted
approaches of research at IXDM.

Albrecht Schnider - In Search of Finality
How up to date is the strive for the "truth" of a painting? Does the digital media overload still allow a close look at a picture and its reflection in our own sensations?
The artist portrait "Albrecht Schnider - Bis das Bild mich anschaut" tells of the intimate, occasionally agonizing struggle for every picture.

SCRAP
Documentary 80 Min., Production Year 2017, Premiere early 2019
Sabine Hertig (1982*) combines diverse print media and merges them till the extent of full immersion. She visualizes todayÂ’s vast, yet ephemeral collective visual memory - she even manages to fathom the chaos of the internet. At distance, the visual structure of her work creates the impression of a painting, which gradually dissolves into subtle mosaic of scraps when viewed up close. ItÂ’s a playful discourse on the boundaries between visibility and the realm of things invisible.
