As a professional photographer and a researcher, the author asks whether these two seemingly opposed positions can be reconciled, and how photography can function as a mode of inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking the phenomenon of travel and tourism as an initial site for this study, the author tests the capacities of the photographic medium and the roles a photographer and their choices play in documenting, depicting, and generating realities. The author experiments with non-linear forms of text construction, treats the camcorder as a writing tool, and creates chapters of an imaginary audio-photo book. Rather than focusing on the documentary potential of the photographic image and its conventional modes of display, this PhD study employs walking, circling, shifting points of view, filming, and reading in public as means of reporting on the experience of photographing as a bodily, durational, and reflective act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public Colloquium 2026<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/phd-in-art.uni-ak.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-05-04-at-23.30.15-730x1024-1-214x300.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phd-in-art.uni-ak.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-05-04-at-23.30.15-730x1024-1-214x300.webp 214w, https:\/\/phd-in-art.uni-ak.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-05-04-at-23.30.15-730x1024-1.webp 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>THE HALL, PART International Art Residency Austria<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public Kolloquium 2026<strong><br><\/strong>26 \u2013 29 Mai 2026<br><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE HALL, PART International Art Residency Austria, Meiereistrasse 3 &amp; 16, 1020 Wien<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Anreise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PART und die Bildhauergeb\u00e4ude des Bundes befinden sich in der Meiereistra\u00dfe 3 &amp; 16, 1020 Wien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mit \u00f6ffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>U-Bahn: U2, Station Stadion (Ausgang Ernst-Happel-Stadion), anschlie\u00dfend ca. 300\u2013400 Meter Fu\u00dfweg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stra\u00dfenbahn: Linie 18<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bus: Linien 11A oder 77A<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wir empfehlen Ihnen, mit \u00f6ffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln, dem Fahrrad oder zu Fu\u00df anzureisen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Science of Singularity in the Age of Light<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wir freuen uns, eine neue Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem K\u00fcnstlerische Forschung PhD in Art an der Universit\u00e4t f\u00fcr angewandte Kunst Wien und <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partresidency.at\/about\">PART International Art Residency Austria.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vom 26. bis 29.

Conventional solutions can\u2019t solve our polycrisis; we need collective imagination to envision and create radically different ways forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This practice-based research investigates how collective imagination practices can catalyze climate action and adaptation in European cities. It explores transformative climate adaptation, the role of experiential interventions in surfacing emotions about climate futures and changing assumptions, and mindsets for organizing collective imagination work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research methodology combined participatory design approaches with auto-ethnographic reflection, culminating in the creation of an imagination collective. This collective developed and implemented multiple interventions, including two scenario narratives examining climate resilience and three place-based experiential interventions bringing together climate practitioners, and a framework for designing experiential climate scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key findings demonstrate that the long-term, fundamental changes needed are not connected to current climate adaptation plans, and how embodied, emotions-based approaches such as immersive theater can help surface often-overlooked emotional and imaginative dimensions of climate action. The research shows how post-experience reflection can help shift perspectives about possible futures. It also suggests that organizing collective imagination work requires careful attention to power dynamics, trust-building, and balancing creation and resting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This research contributes to both theory and practice by developing new metaphors for climate adaptation, creating a framework for designing for collective imagination, and establishing a living handbook for building imagination collectives. It argues that collective imagination practices constitute essential activities that catalyze social and ecological change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition will include final artefacts from six projects and display work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Juli Sikorska is a co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanheat.studio\/\">Urban Heat Studio<\/a>, a creative collective for transformative climate adaptation and imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">20-22 January 2025, 11:00 \u2013 14:00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like to visit the exhibition outside opening hours, please contact: <a href=\"mailto:juli@urbanheat.studio\">juli@urbanheat.studio<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zentrum Fokus Forschung<br>Rustenschacherallee 2-4,<br>1020 Vienna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Defense<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">23 January 2025, 14:00&nbsp;<br>Zentrum Fokus Forschung,<br>Rustenschacherallee 2-4,<br>1020 Vienna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supervisor: Anab Jain<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examination Committee:<br>Gerhild Steinbuch, Stuart Candy, Imandeep Kaur, Ruth Anderwald, Anab Jain<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To participate remotely via Zoom, please contact: <a href=\"mailto:juli@urbanheat.studio\">juli@urbanheat.studio<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Call for Participation 2025: <\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artistic Research PhD Programme (PhD in Art) University of Applied Arts Vienna<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CALL FOR APPLICATIONS 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artistic Research PhD Programme (PhD in Art) University of Applied Arts Vienna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application period:<br><\/strong>January 15 \u2013 29, 2025, noon (CET)<br>Exclusively via the Angewandte <a href=\"https:\/\/application.uni-ak.ac.at\">Application Tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Start of studies:<br><\/strong>October 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q&amp;A Session:<br><\/strong>13 January 2025, 13:00 \u2013 14:00 (CET)<br>Online on Zoom, registration via <a href=\"mailto:zff@uni-ak.ac.at\">zff@uni-ak.ac.at<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Application period: January 15 \u2013 29, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exclusively via the Angewandte Application Tool (<a href=\"https:\/\/application.uni-ak.ac.at\">https:\/\/application.uni-ak.ac.at<\/a>)<br>Start of studies: October 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The University of Applied Arts Vienna invites potential candidates to apply for the Artistic Research PhD Programme (PhD in Art). The Artistic Research PhD Programme is a postgraduate course of study in the field of art. The programme of study, conducted in English, concludes with the award of an internationally recognised PhD degree (see <a href=\"https:\/\/studien.homepage.uni-ak.ac.at\/curricula\/950_2016U_00_e.pdf\">Curriculum<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course of study is organised around topics and practices of artistic research, whereby the focus is on artistic work understood as the basis for knowledge production. Reflection on, and exploration of, specific methods and production processes in each candidate\u2019s realisation of their artistic project is integral to the development and a critical component of the artistic research work. The final thesis consists of artistic work and a reflective documentation of the knowledge gained from the project. Artistic research, understood in the sense of comprehensive knowledge production, is defined as an open-ended process. The supervisors are professors at the Angewandte and are recommended by the commission responsible for selecting the candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the selection criteria (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dieangewandte.at\/jart\/prj3\/angewandte-2016\/data\/uploads\/Aktuelles\/Wettbewerbe\/2020\/ADMISSION_PROCEDURES.pdf\">admission procedure<\/a>) are up-to-dateness, innovative potential and prospective social relevance of the planned artistic research proposal, and the demonstration of knowledge of the national and international artistic and research context. Proof of general eligibility for postgraduate university admission (e.g. evidence of a completed, subject-relevant diploma or master programme at a university or college of higher education) and the favourable completion of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dieangewandte.at\/jart\/prj3\/angewandte-2016\/data\/uploads\/Aktuelles\/Wettbewerbe\/2020\/ADMISSION_PROCEDURES.pdf\">admission procedure<\/a> is necessary. In addition to providing proof of qualification in terms of artistic development \u2013 documented by submitting a CV and a portfolio of artistic work \u2013 candidates must also submit a written expos\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documents for the admission procedure are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Professional artistic and academic CV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expos\u00e9 outlining the planned activity within the field of artistic research (max. 1,200 words, incl.footnotes, excl. abstract and bibliography).<br>The expos\u00e9 should include the explicit research question or hypothesis; discuss the research context, methodology, project goal, and ideas for reflexive documentation while also providing a time plan for the project\u2019s realisation. Please, include a paragraph indicating the field of your artistic research in relation to a potential supervisor1 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (any person holding an artistic venia docendi).<br>(1 It is up to the commission to evaluate this part and to check the adequacy and availability of the potential colleague. You neither need to, nor should you, provide evidence of such colleagues\u2019 availability, letters of their support, or reviews of your work prior to your submission.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Portfolio<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal should be preceded by an abstract (max. 300 words), including the explicit research question.<br>All documents should be in English and compiled into a single PDF file in the following order: CV, expos\u00e9, portfolioThe PDF may be no larger than 50 MB.
