College of Design and Innovation (D&I) Tongji University and Music and Media Art Section of Bern University of the Arts (BUA) successfully collaborated on the Visual-Music Workshop in November. There were 12 students from digital media design direction of D&I Tongji and 16 BUA students based on music and media art participated in this one-week workshop. During the workshop, Chinese and Swiss students took the common base of knowledge in the field of contemporary media art and electronic music as a starting point and worked closely together to produce innovative methods of synchronizing music with visuals, giving emphasis to real time digital translation of audio and visual sources and to the esthetic consequences. 7 teams from the workshop worked for a week and gave the final presentation and performance at Tongji on 14th of Nov. A symposium was held in Chronus Art Center on 15th of Nov. to report the final result from the workshop.
