a humanities, (social) science and social justice centric lens to facilitate dis-covering ourselves, our work(s) and our world. 

by providing expansive and inclusive understandings of art and science as not (only) outputs but as methods of knowledge collection, creation and distribution, the course will explore: 

• what is/can be considered “knowledge” in art and/science?
• how do/can ways of learning and knowing impact our (creative) outputs? 
• how can we disconnect knowledge from a cerebral association? and what result could this have on (creative) outputs?
• how can we incorporate ethics into an art of knowing and subsequently art/science practices? (hooks, 2000)

in additions to readings and class discussions and debates, the course will encourage students to think as much as possible "outside" of the classroom setting and the programme's guest lecture series, workshops and visits will engage with a range of practitioners and creatives (both based in Vienna and internationally) whose practices subvert the status quo in art/science and knowledge. 

*****class students also take part in COR! one a month as part of the class' prioritisation on pratical learning and making. COR! is a sound-making collective format intiated by the course lecturer Tonica Hunter. *****
