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 in Hybrid Arts is pleased to announce The CHAKRA TUNNEL, an interactive sculptural installation by Anna Laura Hafner, currently on view at Spiral House Park in Saugerties, New York, through 27 July 2026. Developed as part of Hafner's Master of Research (MARes) in Hybrid Arts thesis at the Department of Audio & Visual Arts, Ionian University, The CHAKRA TUNNEL forms part of a broader body of work and holistic artistic methodology titled SPECTRASOMATICS. The installation invites visitors to walk through each colour of the rainbow, engaging with the corresponding chakras through a series of guided movements and sound experiences presented in an accompanying video.
