Here and There

Mixed media installation

The title "Here and There" refers to an on-going research and investigation project of the students of the Art & Science master programme. At the beginning of the summer semester, the programme entered into a cooperation phase with several scientific institutions in Austria, and students began to perform ethnographic research, in various scientific fields of their choosing. Through means of participatory observation, it was (and is) an attempt to deepen their understandings of research practices and scientific lifestyles.

"Here and There" also relates to an oscillating emotional and intellectual (and epistemological) moving between world-views, disciplines, practices, rituals, languages and theories. This travelling between art studio and scientific lab, artist and researcher, attempts to give the students the opportunity to track down a matter of concern and to develop a research question, with the potential to be elaborated into a master thesis. The work on display mirrors some of the experiences and reflexions of the participants in these cooperations.
