Robots, AI, and hand-drawn thinking

The Course Week is one of MOME’s most intensive and dynamic formats: a week when creativity, learning, and collaboration come together in a concentrated burst of activity. During the spring 2026 edition, studio work was complemented by exhibitions, international symposia, and artist talks, while students and lecturers from different programmes worked together in interdisciplinary settings. Subjects ranged from AI and robotics to sound, animation, and photography, alongside architecture and experiments with sustainable materials, from sound workshops to architectural and exhibition concepts. Many of the courses were organised in international collaboration and involved visiting lecturers. The week concluded with public presentations, offering an insight into the outcomes of this intensive period of work.
