Super Vision

In the autumn of 2016, five candidates will begin their PhD projects within the newly launched artistic research PhD programme at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. At the event SUPER VISION, the new colleagues will share their visions as outlined in their respective research proposals and give some insight into the reason behind their aim to start an artistic research PhD at the Angewandte. The event will also include a conversation between the candidates, Nikolaus Gansterer (inaugural guest professor at the Zentrum Fokus Forschung) and Henk Borgdorff (President of the Society for Artistic Research), lead by Alexander Damianisch (head of Zentrum Fokus Forschung).
