Apply Now: Erasmus Course Among Clouds in Tallinn
The Estonian Academy of Arts has announced the open call for an Erasmus course Among Clouds which will be taught by David K. Ross and guest lecturer Helmut Völter in Tallinn, Estonia on 19–24 March 2023. Application deadline is 15 February 2023.
Floating between weather and wonder, this course looks at the idea of the cloud as it has gathered inthe minds of visual and spatial practitioners, visionaries, critical thinkers, engineers, scientists, and poets over the ages. The course participants will undertake to answer the question: what cultural, technological and social meanings have been assigned to clouds, and by whom?
The course is designed to integrate with students’ own interests and pursuits, crossing multiple fields of inquiry, from various forms of artistic production to historical and technological investigations. Field trips during the course include visits to art museum collections, a 13th-century observation tower, a weather station run by the Estonian Environmental Observatory, and the largest data center facility in the Baltics.
The acceptance or declination letter will be sent to the applicants no later than March 1. In case of any questions please contact: Keidi Jaakson by email keidi.jaakson@artun.ee.
