AV - Labor 2025
free workshop series at ZiMMT
The AV-Labor is an open and free series of workshops for anyone who wants to learn about new audiovisual techniques or develop their own projects. No prior knowledge is required.
The individual workshops cover a variety of topics and areas of media art and music, including: Music production, 3D audio techniques, video mapping, lighting design, 3D modeling, creative coding, motion/position tracking, generative and interactive video design and much more.
Each workshop begins with an introduction to the respective topic. Suitable software, usually free of charge, is always presented as a tool. This is followed by an open lab where practical experience can be gathered and exchanged. The ZiMMT provides all the rooms and technical equipment – including 300° video projection, 3D audio system and position tracking.
The thematic focus of the individual events will be announced on our website.
The AV-Labor are usually supervised by two experts, including one FLINTA* person. The ZiMMT particularly invites FLINTA* to participate.
Participation is free of charge after prior registration. Maximum of 12 participants.

Diesmal: Einführung in Fashion Design Software Clo3D mit Jan Lorenz
(Sprache: DE / EN beide möglich)
Am Beispiel der Mode-Software Clo3D stellt Jan Lorenz seine Arbeit am Projekt Drasta Digital V vor. Es kombiniert Ansätze von Digital Fashion und sorbischem, kulturellen Erbe. Durch die Rekonstruktion von Elementen traditioneller Kleidung entstehen 3D Assets, die insbesondere Anwendung in einem Web3D Online-Archiv finden. In dem Workshop werden Grundlagen von Clo3D vermittelt, insbesondere allgemeine Prinzipien, wie Kleidung in 3D designt und als Schnittmuster ausgegeben wird.
Jan Lorenz studierte Multimedia Design und Modedesign und Burg Giebichenstein in Halle und arbeitet seit vielen Jahren mit der Software Clo3D. Zusammen mit Ectoplastic und dem Regionalkulturverein der mittleren Lausitz initiierte er 2022 das Projekt Drasta Digital. Drasta ist sorbisch und steht allgemein für das Wort Kleidung und Tracht. Am Beispiel der Rekonstruktion dieser traditionellen Kleidung, wird sowohl Wissen über dieses Kulturerbe bewahrt sowie Erkenntnisse über die Techniken und Produktionsweisen.
This time: Introduction to the Fashion Design Software Clo3D with Jan Lorenz
(Language: DE / EN – both available)
Using the fashion software Clo3D as an example, Jan Lorenz present his work on the project Drasta Digital V. It combines approaches from digital fashion and Sorbian cultural heritage. Through the reconstruction of elements of traditional clothing, 3D assets are created that find particular application in a Web3D online archive. The workshop teaches the basics of Clo3D, especially general principles of how clothing is designed in 3D and output as a sewing pattern.
Jan Lorenz studied multimedia design and fashion design at Burg Giebichenstein in Halle and has worked with the software Clo3D for many years. Together with Ectoplastic and the Regional Cultural Association of Central Lusatia, he initiated the project Drasta Digital in 2022. Drasta is Sorbian and generally stands for the words clothing and traditional costume. Using the reconstruction of this traditional clothing as an example, both knowledge about this cultural heritage is preserved as well as insights into the techniques and methods of production.
