Final Conference of the two-year project funded by the European Union, OeAD | Erasmus+ Key Action 2 Strategic Partnerships
The global Covid-19 pandemic has not only led to new forms of online teaching and remote gatherings and lectures, but also heightened the need for creative and easy-to-use digital tools useful to art-making and art education. At the same time, the global push toward digitality in education has increased the awareness for teaching as embodied practice as well as digital injustice issues.
In light of these deep digital transformation processes, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna initiated in 2020 a two-year EU-project on Digital Didactics in Art Education, DIDAE. Led Elke Krasny, Vienna, with partner universities in Bern, Budapest, Cologne, and Rotterdam.
The Digital Didactics in Art Education conference marks the finalization of this EU-project with the launch of the DIDAE database, an open educational resource offering easily accessible digital tools and ideas for art teaching practice.
Indigenous cyberfeminist and artist Tiara Roxanne will give the keynote lecture interrogating colonial structures embedded within machine learning systems. Conference speakers include researchers and educators from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the University of the Arts Bern, the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, the University of Cologne, and the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.

Digital Didactics and the Potential of the Body in Art Education
Rosa Pons-Cerdà: Friday, November 19th
WdKA Social Practices contributed training sessions in embodied practices and bodily performances as a teaching tool. WdKA Social Practices has gained expertise in using the body as tool in remote learning and online art teaching over the course of the COVID-19 semester following the lockdown in March 2020. The body is understood as site of knowledge. Our modes of being, also in digital environments, are bodily felt and experienced. With bodies different from each other, the focus on embodied practices makes possible inclusive and intersectional approaches.
