With the 2026 public colloquium A Science of Singularity
in the Age of Light, the Doctoral Programme in Artistic Research (PhD in Art) brings artistic researchers and a broad audience
together for shared exchange from 26–29 May 2026.
The 2026 colloquium will take place as a four-day
open seminar at THE HALL and marks the launch of a new collaboration between the PhD programme in
Artistic Research
at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and PART International Art Residency Austria.
The colloquium will be opened
by Angewandte Rector Ulrike Kuch and will include presentations by 15 doctoral candidates in the PhD in Art programme, each
offering insights into their ongoing artistic research projects. Following their presentations, there will be public conversations,
feedback sessions, and critical reflections with four invited guest critics.
Across these four days, THE HALL becomes
a site of dialogue, where practices are tested, ideas are challenged, and new perspectives emerge. The event invites audiences
to engage directly with current artistic research and to take part in its unfolding. All the programmes will be documented
by reportage drawing and photography.
