We are surrounded by popular culture weighed down by heavy baggage. Outmoded, sometimes harmful depictions of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, class and more have hardened into stereotypes that are thoughtlessly reproduced.
Event Details
We are surrounded by popular culture weighed down by heavy baggage. Outmoded, sometimes harmful depictions of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, class and more have hardened into stereotypes that are thoughtlessly reproduced. Narrative structures driven by conflict and conquest dominate our storytelling. And even when the patterns are broken – by dark-skinned mermaids or queer side characters – the giant media corporations doing the messaging rarely seem to have any real interest in defying the status quo.
US cartoonist, illustrator and character designer Ronald Wimberly has made it his mission to critically examine the entertainment industry’s depiction of especially black American culture. He’ll share his thoughts and insights in the first part of his masterclass, 10-12, where he is interviewed by Weekendavisen comics critic Erik Barkman.
The second part of the masterclass is all about exploring alternative narrative forms – specifically “kishoutenketsu”, Japanese four act structure. Wimberly has studied and used this ancient form of storytelling in his own work, and from 13-16 he will challenge masterclass participants to do the same.
Ronald Wimberly
Artist and writer of a series of graphic novels – Sentences, Prince of Cats, and most recently Now Let Me Fly – as well as the political comics newspaper LAAB. He has also created a number of shorter pieces for The New Yorker, DC/Vertigo, Nike, Marvel, and Dark Horse Comics among others. Wimberly was a 2008 recipient of the Glyph Comics Award and has been nominated for two Eisner Awards. He has also worked as a character designer on the animated tv series Black Dynamite.

By Mads Schmidt Haagensen, Media College Denmark
13.10 The media landscape of the future
Sofie Hvitved and Bugge Holm Hansen, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies, who give their take on how the media landscape will change over the coming years. How does the media consumer of the future behave? What kind of content will dominate? What will AI mean? And what about democracy, representation and public service?
14.00 The ballad about ‘Kolonihaven’
‘Everything is complete; whimsically and elegantly delivered.’ That’s what the film magazine EKKO writes in its review of probably the most talked about documentary series, Kolonihaven, at the moment. Meet producer Majbrit Oddershede Pedersen and photographer Frederik Thyberg in a Q&A, which, supplemented with selected clips, examines the grip of the series and, not least, perspectives for future Public Service TV.
15.00 Coffee break
15.15 AI – is already here!
Artificial intelligence takes up a lot of space in the debate, both in relation to future media production and how we can best educate for the future.
Hear how Media College Denmark uses AI and see examples of how far we are in relation to programming and image processing.
15.45 Debate: Implications for education
What should we prioritize when training future employees in the media industries? Panel debate and three points on the way forward for the school, the industry and the programmes.

Sci-Vi Seminar 2023
When research communication moves out of text-heavy publications and becomes visual productions – a seminar on Science Visualization
What can it look like when research dissemination moves out of text-heavy publications and becomes visual expressions? When the research format moves out of books and publications and becomes visual, where does it go?
At this years Sci-Vi seminar we will look at different platforms for animated research communication.
We have chosen to present a preponderance of cases about climate and environmental productions as examples, but the day is relevant for all research- and knowledge fields and – environments as well as visual storytellers, animators, illustrators, producers and people in the visual industry in general.
Remember to book tickets for the Sci-Vi screening as well.

Peter Vistisen
Peter Vistisen
Associate Professor, PhD, in Digital Media & Design, Aalborg University
“Science Visualization is an important part of the dissemination of knowledge across different audiences. However, the skill is rarely taught formally when scientists are educated through neither PhD programs or assistant professorshop courses. In the SciVi community we have experimented with developing new types of courses, which teaches scientist to think like producers, and prepare them to engage in collaborations with visual artist. In this talk we will discuss the models tested so far, and how we in the not so distant future might imagine science visualization as an integrated part of the research process itself.”
