MARes grants a Diploma of Postgraduate Studies specialized in Hybrid Arts.

The MARes or ‘Master of Research’ in Hybrid Arts emphasizes independent study over taught instruction and it aims to prepare emerging researchers, either for professional work or prior to a PhD in which theoretical inquiry and experimentation with frontier areas of science and emerging technologies underpin art practice.

MARes in Hybrid Arts is interested in gathering the most curious minds under the Ionian University spirit independently of their geographical location. This master degree program is in English and mostly conducted remotely, being delivered in person during intense short-term residencies (low residency / winter school) during which ongoing seminars on methods and the revision of the research proposals take place.

The MARes or ‘Master of Arts by Research’ in Hybrid Arts developed at the Department of Audio & Visual Arts at the Ionian University in Corfu is a two-semester, low-residency, arts-based research program taught in English. Applications to MARes will open once the program receives accreditation by HAHE.

Guest Lecture by Angeliki Malakasioti – "The Architecture of Scientific Posters: Visual Storytelling for Research Dissemination"

Posted: 02-05-2025 14:24

In this session, Angeliki Malakasioti will explore the role of visual storytelling in scientific communication, focusing on the research poster as both a medium and a message. Drawing from her background in architecture, digital media, and speculative design, she will share practical strategies for creating effective, visually compelling posters that not only inform but engage and inspire. Emphasis will be placed on design choices, layout logic, visual hierarchy, and how aesthetic clarity can enhance the visibility and impact of scientific work.

The Master of Research (MARes) in Hybrid Arts at the Ionian University proudly announces the successful completion of the Winter School 2025, held from March 31 to April 4, 2025, at the Annex of the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA) on the island of Hydra. Titled “Methodology of Hybrid Arts,” the Winter School brought together students, faculty, and guest experts for a full week of seminars, mentoring, experimental workshops, and peer-to-peer exchange on hybrid artistic research methodologies. The Winter School was co-organized by the InArts Laboratory of the Ionian University and the C’ Sculpture Studio of ASFA, reinforcing inter-institutional collaboration. With a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, the program explored connections between art, science, technology, and social engagement.
