Research
We think hard-about the world in play, not only in our study program, but also in our research projects that we are consistently hosting at our department.
With these artistic research projects we also foster an active discourse with our students and colleagues from different partners. We believe that this experimental approach is central to the LUDIC METHOD that we advance in our department.

About
The genres of game art, game design, art and games are gaining in importance in the context of artistic research because they allow empirical methods and direct experience.
Ludic experiments in the form of neurogames and the transformative potential of games serve as a theoretical framework for a discourse on publicly conducted artistic experiments, resistance to social conditions and the handling of personal data.
