New Media is one of the educational degree directions of the School of Visual & Applied Arts in Thessaloniki (along with Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking). The curriculum of the New Media Lab offers specialized courses on a wide variety of new media related topics and artistic practices, including video production, contemporary photography, animation, interactive installations, etc.
The compilation includes 14 videos created by students of the New Media Lab with various concepts, techniques and aesthetic forms. Experimenting with audiovisual narration, 3d animation, computer graphics, stop motion and performance the students lead us to their personal view of critical contemporary issues, describing and criticizing with perspicacity and sensitivity a mostly dystopian and depressing present. The works of the students presented here, have been created under the supervision of the teaching staff of the New Media Lab.

The Sound of Violence
Before anything else, violence is primarily defining iself also through sound, but sound is not representing a mere accompanying phenomenon, but sound can be also dominating unusually violent, in every-day-life, as well as a destructive tool in torture and war, through the misuse of sound – not only in terms of its volume, but also in terms of the assosciations connected with certain kinds of sound, and these destructive phenomena are all – human made. Compared with the natural sounds, the articifially generated sound has always the potential to become a weapon of physical or psychological harm & destruction.
As a project – The Sound of Violence – would like to reflect the destructive potential of violence via the non-visual medium of sound.
