Exploring Interactive Avatars at Artstübli in Basel
Throughout October, Artstübli served as a dynamic venue for a specialized teaching format involving students from the joint master’s program in Digital Communication and Creative Media Production, provided by FHGR Fachhochschule Graubünden and the Université de Fribourg / Universität Freiburg.
Academic Innovation Meets Urban Culture Space in Basel
The collaborative teaching format brought student teams to the local gallery to showcase projects developed during the studio program titled "Interactive Avatars in Information and Entertainment Contexts." Working in interdisciplinary groups, participants designed 3D avatars capable of natural-language interaction by integrating various artificial intelligence services.
This educational initiative builds upon the broader research focus at FHGR concerning intelligent avatars for immersive communication. The October exhibition highlighted how scientific research, technological innovation, and contemporary creative practices can intersect within an alternative cultural setting. By hosting these presentations, the space demonstrated its ongoing versatility as a venue for dialogue, experimentation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
