Falling, escaping gravity, flying, breaking free and rising above the abyss are very present in the visual arts and in popular culture. They represent both humankind’s dreams and their nightmares. Cultural history is replete with countless attempts to overcome gravity, outwit it, escape it or harness it productively for a wide variety of forms of movement. Although scientists and engineers… 2026W, Field Trip / Excursion, 2.0 ECTS

Wer begehrt, wer wird begehrt? Und wie lässt sich diese Beziehung darstellen? Das Seminar untersucht unterschiedliche philosophische, psychoanalytische und feministische Modelle des Begehrens und fragt danach, wie diese in der Kunst der 1970er Jahre aufgegriffen, kritisiert und hinterfragt wurden. Der Titel A New Eros verweist auf ein Mitte der 1970er Jahre von Joan Semmel geplantes Buchprojekt, das zunächst den Titel… 2026W, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

This seminar examines queer and trans writing in recent decades. In doing so, it doesn't take these labels personally. Rather than as an identity marker or as a overgeneralized word for "somehow transgressive," it uses queer and trans to explore specific, historical poetic approaches, scenes like New Narrative, trans literature or the poetry scene around the Nighboat publishing house. Central… 2026W, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

The garden is so many things at once: ubiquitous phenomenon and practice, lively concept and physical, ever-changing place where encounters with the other and making kin can take place. As an emblematic, metaphorical, ambiguous and absolutely concrete place, the garden brings together diverse aspects of more-than-human worlds. In an intimate interaction with soil, water, plants, animals, weather and seasons, practice… 2027S, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

In dieser Lehrveranstaltung arbeiten wir direkt vor Originalen und widmen uns der systematischen Beschreibung und Analyse von Kunstwerken sowie Objekten des Kunsthandwerks in Sammlungen, Ausstellungen und Werkstätten. Im Zentrum steht die Untersuchung ausgewählter Objekte unter besonderer Berücksichtigung ihrer Materialität, Gattung, Funktion, Narration und Präsentation. Ein zentrales Anliegen ist die Auseinandersetzung mit jenen Aspekten, die in Reproduktionen oft unsichtbar bleiben: Oberflächenstrukturen,… 2026W, Practical Exercises, 2.0 ECTS

Hacking is nowadays a common practice among post-digital artists. By subverting systems, reverse engineering technologies, “hacking the world”, and advocating for open access technologies, we employ a top-down methodology that uses deconstruction as a method to “make” art. Acknowledging Vilém Flusser's (1986) challenge to open the "black box," the course approaches technology as a cultural, political, and sensorial apparatus. We… 2026W, artistic Seminar, 2.0 ECTS

Human Interface Design is a process that visually and functionally shapes the social environment, entailing a reconfiguration of the relationship between surface and depth. It thus represents a potent mechanism of design practice that simultaneously negotiates epistemic, aesthetic, and normative aspects.

The title of this seminar on "Identificaiton" names a conceptual problem that traverses logic, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. We might formalize the problem with the basic equation A=A.

In the ninth year of Jacques… 2026W, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

Over the past decade, infrastructures have become a vast field of both scholarly research and artistic concern as well as the label for a set of methodologies and theoretical approaches. Echoing the Marxist opposition of "Basis und Überbau", often rendered as "infrastructure and superstructure" in English, the notion of infrastructure signals another materialist turn. From data centers, deep sea cables,… 2026W, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

Pflanzen gelten gemeinhin als passiv: Sie können sich nicht eigenständig von einem Ort zum anderen bewegen und sich nicht durch Laute mitteilen. Oftmals werden sie daher lediglich als grüner Hintergrund wahrgenommen. Doch dieses Verständnis von Pflanzen hat sich seit den frühen 2000er Jahren gewandelt. Zunächst in der Biologie und dann zunehmend in Literatur und Kunst wird seither erforscht, wozu Pflanzen… 2027S, Lecture, 2.0 ECTS

entsprechend dem Thema der Vorlesung werden im Seminar monografisch Schicksale und Karrieren von Frauen beleuchtet, deren intellektuelle und kreative Leistungen sowohl auf ihre geistige Autonomie zurückgingen, als auch gerne von einer männlich dominierten Wissenschaft unterschlagen worden waren - und deren Verwandtschaft mit der mesopotamischen LilitH unübersehbar ist.

Collaboration today rarely takes place within a single shared location, medium, or timeline.

Rematriation - Feminist Perspectives on Restitution This lecture series looks at practices of rematriation as a challenge to colonial logics of ownership, return, and value - going beyond symbolic gestures or return of colonial objects, and instead centering relations to land, ancestors, community, and more-than-human kin. The series is grounded in a feminist, decolonial critique of art, heritage, and cultural… 2026W/2027S, Lecture Series, 2.0 ECTS
