Talk in German. > > > The Drop Shadow Talks > --------------------- > The digital drop shadow is the most popular effect in computer graphics > today. Easily applied, it made its way to modern graphic design and > advertising. It raises typography and objects from a flattened > background into three-dimensionality—and thus significance. > With the current generation of operating systems the drop shadow effect > entered the graphical user interface to a new extent. In this context it > raises not only windows from background wallpapers; it also stands for a > visually enriched interface that strives towards three-dimensionality. > Loaded with rich imagery, photorealistic icons and pseudo > three-dimensional configurations the graphical user interface yet > remains tied to its flat medium. > Bewildered by this paradox, the graphical user interface leaves the > office it was made for and becomes a pop culture phenomenon. > The Drop Shadow Talks reply to current developments on the visually > enriched layer for machine interaction. In the shades of evening > lectures the Drop Shadow Talks present art and projects influenced and > inspired by the baroque graphical user interface. > > > Location > -------- > The talks are located at Berliner Technischen Kunsthochschule > in room J/K, second floor.
