Wie Körper denken? Wie das verkörperte Wissen begreifen, das in die Theoriebildung einfließt, und sie zugleich unterläuft? In acht Begegnungen zwischen transdisziplinär arbeitenden Denkerinnen und Künstlerinnen fragte die internationale Lecture Series "Body Concepts" welchen Körpern - und welchen Lebensrealitäten - wir im Denken Aufmerksamkeit schenken, und welche mit systemischen Ausschlüssen oder Rahmungen konfrontiert sind.

Body Concepts war eine gemeinsame Veranstaltung von HZT Berlin/MA SODA und FU Berlin/MA Critical Dance Studies und wurde kuratiert von Sandra Noeth und Lucia Ruprecht. Gefördert von der Kommission für künstlerische und wissenschaftliche Vorhaben (KKWV) der UdK Berlin und der Abteilung Internationales der FU Berlin.

Wherever we look in contemporary artistic practice we see inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration. The results of this go far beyond a mere meeting of different disciplines. On a conceptual level, our thoughts and reflections are refocused in ways that makes the ‘attractions of otherness’ apparent.

We explored these topics in a two-day hybrid conference with presentations, debates and artistic contributions, in order to sharpen our understanding of the nature of research and the importance of collaborative practices at arts universities today.

Conference on neural networks - AI in artistic and scientific practices.
The term "Neural Synthesis" has recently re-emerged to describe a variety of artistic approaches using artificial neural networks in multimedia performance, visual arts, design and dance, and experimental robotics. The BAS conference "Neural Synthesis" provides a forum for scientific and artistic contributions from various fields, ranging from basic medical research to the humanities, the arts and HCI design, that address questions of the critical organisation and reorganisation of human thought, feeling and action.

Salon für Ästhetische Experimente is the series of events where the international fellows and alumni*ae of the Graduate School, coming from different artistic disciplines, share their ongoing work and research with the Berlin public in diverse formats.

The aesthetic experiment is driven by curiosity, it chooses to challenge rather than to affirm. Therefore, Salon für Ästhetische Experimente has become a platform for creative and speculative proposals, interventions and activities initiated by the fellows.

The events take the form of conversation, presentation, projection, workshop or performance to prepare a refreshing ground for discussing and questioning contemporary artistic processes, new modi operandi, research questions and current projects in a public context.

Out of the Blue – From the Provisional to Improvisation
Symposium 27.-29. October 2017, Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin

The symposium “Out of the Blue” created the framework for a cross-disciplinary dialogue between art and society. The aim was to draw attention to the characteristic features of improvisation or provisional activity, to define them more clearly and to make them visible for everyone in the sense of a generally applicable strategy for Action.
