What does a poem feel like?
University of Rostock
“It snows, then the rain falls, then it snows, it rains and snows.”
What does a poem feel like? Why does it have a rhythm, and how can I determine what this rhythm is? How can these questions be made digitally accessible for higher education? Prof. Claudius Sittig came to us with these linguistic concerns.
Together, we built the erlkoenig.online prototype within a format development process. With short science videos and interactive tools, erlkoenig.online inspires pupils and students to explore the rules and magic of soundscapes in a deliberately light, creative, and funny way. We filmed the videos at the Ernst Busch University of Theatre Arts together with Andree Gubisch, Professor of Speech Training. The result is hard to describe, so it’s best to take a look and listen: you can find all the project’s videos, tools, and information at www.erlkoenig.online.
