AI & Game Studies: Global Visual Communication in Germany

This trip is leading students to the University of Constance in Germany where they will learn about game studies, media studies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in conjunction with German students. The exchange is part of a larger University Exchange between Connecticut and Baden-Württemberg. We will concentrate on projects dealing with AI and Game Studies that will lead to joint bilateral research and exchanges.

Beyond individual figures such as robots, replicants, cyborgs, humanoids, or synthetic companions, we will look at the broader production, circulation, and reception logics of media. A media-theoretical perspective highlights how popular representations do not merely reflect technological developments but actively shape the conditions under which AI is perceived, desired, feared, and integrated into everyday culture.

Students will work on joint visual projects and also be involved in game design in a designated laboratory at the University of Constance. There will also be field trips organized as part of the international experience.

The course will be developed in conjunction with Prof. Dr. Beate Ochsner from the University of Constance, Germany.
