Roundtable

To intensify the connection with cooperation partners and to establish a dialogue with their research topics, the Art & Science project work is in part orchestrated as Roundtable Discussions that combine the courses of Virgil Widrich (artistic director) and Bernd Kräftner (Department for Ontological Patchworks). Participating students acquaint themselves with the specific everyday routine of a chosen cooperation partner; the weekly discussions support the field research and help to process the collected experiences. The intention lies in ethnographic research and participatory observation. Over the semester, each student develops a research interest and question to pursue in the following semester.

Concept and moderation: Virgil Widrich, Bernd Kräftner — assisted by Valerie Deifel, Brishty Alam.

The Roundtable is the successor of the earlier Jour Fixe (2010–2014).
