Practices of Experimentation
Research and Teaching in the Arts Today
At the Department of Art and Media at Zürich University, which comprises the undergraduate specializations of fine arts, photography, media arts, and theory along with a masters program anchored by two research institutes, experimentation lies at the heart of creative research and teaching. The 2012 yearbook of the department explores how practices of experimentation are implemented in one of the most renowned arts departments worldwide and investigates how the various fields—of teaching, research, theory, and practice—interlace with, inspire, and inform one another.
