With the Vilem Flusser Residency Programme for Artistic Research we are 
calling upon artistic research projects that actively explore the 
capabilities and limitations of transdisciplinary and transmedial 
situations in contemporary culture. We therefore understand artistic 
research as an exploration of the links between aesthetics, materiality, 
and politics.

For Vilem Flusser, theory and praxis are intrinsically tied to each 
other. His nomadic thinking was shaped by a philosophy of positions; 
experimental testing of different ways of thinking and the linking of 
different disciplines and methodologies played a significant role in his 
work. Not the search for the truth but rather the playing around with 
the aesthetic constitution of truth characterised his thinking, often 
developed in dialogue with others. A fundamental principle of his 
philosophy is the dialogue between the disciplines, points of views, and 
methodologies. Knowledge production as a dialogue between different 
standpoints (between science and art, laboratory and applied research, 
old and new media, local and global forms of organisation) is therefore 
the guiding principle for the concept of artistic research, which is 
supported by the Vilem Flusser Residency Programme for Artistic Research.

With the 2-months residency programme, we would like to support projects 
and works in different stages of development, from the first conceptual 
steps up to significant advancements of already existing projects and 
works. A comprehensible research interest is of importance for the 
jury's decision; the relation between the work and issues and questions 
addressed in its research with the context of our society as a whole; 
first ideas regarding the approach during the period of the residency 
(strategy, workshops, presentations, etc.); and the connection to the 
focus of the Vilém Flusser Residency Programme for Artistic Research.
