The Master of Research (MARes) in Hybrid Arts by the Ionian University (IU) is proud to announce its Winter School 2024-2025 “Methodology of Hybrid Arts” schedule, taking place from March 31 to April 4, 2025, at the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA) Annex in Hydra. This initiative is co-organized by the InArts Laboratory of the IU and the C' Sculpture Studio of ASFA, facilitating cross-institutional collaboration.
In-person faculty is (in alphabetic order): Daphne Dragona (Sustainability in curatorial practices), Dalila Honorato (Narrative fiction and in-situ observation), Emmanouil Rovithis (Sound art research methodologies), Tania Tsiridou (Sustainability in creative practice), Iannis Zannos (Interactive media and performing arts) and Adam Zaretsky (Bioart and bioethics research methodologies). Additionally, the program welcomes: Guest Speaker Khristina Ots (Nature-driven technologies) and Visiting Artist Mindaugas Gapševičius (DIY bioart practices).
Program highlight is the combination of faculty and student presentations, fostering a collaborative learning environment. Participants will engage in: Research Methodologies for Hybrid Arts, bridging artistic practice and social sciences, Experimental Wet Labs and Biohacking, exploring alternative science-art practices, Sustainability and Art Management, addressing environmental concerns in art practice, and Media Archaeology and Interdisciplinary Art, investigating speculative futures through hybrid discourse.
A key feature of the program is the café-philo as student project feedback sessions, designed to foster critical discussions and peer review in an informal setting. The program will conclude with a Hydra tour and a closing dinner, providing further opportunities for networking and reflection. While the program is primarily designed as an in-person event, registered students who are unable to travel will be provided with video access to the activities.
