The  individual artistic research projects are reviewed and discussed with the PhD candidates. The aim is to recognize the significance of the artistic research approach in the arts.  Individual specific questions and a review of the actual status quo of theories of artistic research will inform individual concepts to develop Your own unique artistic research approaches. 

We will refer to concepts of the Ludic, i.e. transversal thinking and free play as a method. Artistic research goals are sometimes fictitiously formulated, presented in playful formats, and made public in processes of exchange. The methods of artistic research include - in a structural coupling - contradictions, science and associative memory games.

In the discussed theory and practice of artistic research we will reflect specific ways to approach art, society, cultures and epistemic things – in short Ludic objects!
