Department of Audiovisual Technology (at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology)

In the recent years, the department has undergone several changes. Originally, the department provided services for various faculty departments, such as providing rooms and equipment. Nowadays, it also offers extradepartmental lessons as it teaches faculty students from any departments the basics of working with photo & audio-visual equipment and software. Apart from offering classes for all faculty students, the department is also an intra-departmental service lab which helps with practical problems of the students’ art projects. The department provides tutorials in photography, video, sound, and interactive installations. Thanks to various grant projects it has been possible to establish a fully-equipped professional audio recording studio; at the moment, the video studio equipment is undergoing modernization.
