The two-part event deals with the question of what Artistic Research is, what it can achieve and what new spheres of activity it creates. Intersections and perspectives for an open art practice that seeks increased exchange with the academic landscape and society will be made visible using exemplary projects. The extended symposium aims to make the current discourse on artistic research and the potentials arising from it tangible in a broad spectrum and to communicate it locally and internationally to society, the academic world and the artistic community.
