Miya
Yoshida will be the new Professor of Artistic Research and Head of the Zentrum Fokus Forschung from September 2024The Zentrum Fokus Forschung offers an open space for reflection for projects of artistic, scientific and artistic-scientific
research, especially in the context of the doctoral program of Angewandte.
The Zentrum Fokus Forschung's function
is to realize projects in post-graduate research areas of art and science (research projects, incl. projects evolving from
artistic doctoral studies) and to support significant developments of art and science in general.
The Zentrum Fokus
Forschung is a unit – complementarily to existing departments – at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in which independent
artistic research is generated and connected; artistic work thereby is regarded as the basis of knowledge production, of course
in a productive relation towards existing ways of knowledge development, as they have been established in other fields of
research.
The foundation of the Zentrum Fokus Forschung is based on a rich and successful praxis of research (Events:
Applied Practice; Documentation (film): Applied
Practice, Context:
Exhibition Hong Kong 2015)
at the Angewandte (Kewords:
Projects,
incl. PEEK;
Report 2014: Research and Developement Projects,
p. 51 ff) ).
The aim is to generate fresh knowledge regarding specific issues in the arts by providing an adequate
institutional focus, to contextualize artistic research and to adequately communicate results in both national and international
artistic environments.
