Curious, passionate, staying power, and thrilled by contemplation, philosophical and poetic approaches
In case you are wondering what I mean by contemplation, check out | Taniguchi Jiro's "Walking Man.” Seeing, feeling, experiencing, and thinking — how could we not notice that current change processes are having a profound effect on our lives. And in such times, as is ours, notions and practices get questioned, altered and transformed. ART is no exception. I have tried to grasp the bigger picture of these changes, to question the limited reach of some understandings of art, and to discuss the phenomena of | artists working reality.

After two years of study programme development, extensive work, many discussions with experts on art in social transformation, I am delighted that the Master of Advanced Studies in Art & Society has now launched. DIWO Culture by Marc Dusseiller is the first module, followed by Art as Agent, Language Clinic, Art Activism, and many more.

The idea for a practice based and practice led, context sensitive, and transregional programme grew out of our FOA-FLUX research.

When it comes to OST I am still a beginner. I recently set up two Wiki pages. Experimenting how it can be used for teaching and for organising a study programme. I have set up a joomla page and spent hours and hours to set up a Kuena forum. There might be still some bugs, but it should be functioning now. Next will be to put it into use. I have been playing with different formats putting research info into animations. We recorded fake lectures providing real facts on HUMAN COLOURS.
