ENViL is creating the prototype of a "Common European Framework of Reference on Visual Literacy" (CEFR_VL). This reference framework describes competences that European citizens must have in the field of visual arts and applied arts (architecture and design) as well as in everyday visual culture if they are to participate in culture and society as responsible citizens.

In this work package, strategies are to be developed on how universities and museums can better know and benefit from each other. The HRSM project "Instrument Collections in Salzburg and Innsbruck" is exemplary. The aim is to develop a concept on how the potential between universities and museums could be better used, to increase knowledge transfer and to implement a contact person for museums at the universities.

The aim of the project is to develop professional opportunities and artistic co-productions exploring the ways diverse theatre traditions can effectively converse and contribute to quality artistic diversity and creativity in Europe. The objective of the Pl.ETA is therefore also to create a new artistic value out of the interaction between various theatre traditions and specialties.

The project sets out to accomplish a data-driven study in musical interpretation, connecting information from human analyses of a number of performances by Karajan, with algorithmically derived data spanning several decades of recordings. Although the project is conceived as a case study on Karajan, we wish to demonstrate the promise of data-intensive, interdisciplinary approaches to musicological studies of expressive performance, and help in establishing this as a new open standard approach in empirical musicology.

News … Home News Aesthetic Practice and Critical Capacity. Education as a Condition of Aesthetic Experience Aesthetic practice and critical faculties 01.03.2017 Research project The research project investigates the role that aesthetic education plays in the formation of critical perception, thinking and action skills. Using a phenomenological inventory of methods, a concentrated qualitative study will be conducted to determine how 14-year-old students from different educational backgrounds deal with situations of aesthetic experience and what they are willing to learn from them. Project Management iris Laner (Department of Fine Arts & Design ) Sponsor fWF | Hertha-Firnberg Program Duration 01.03.2017 until 31.12.2022 The study is guided by the question of how the students' aesthetic educational history interacts first with their general ability to have aesthetic experiences in the first place and to engage with an aesthetic situation, their aesthetic attitudes, and their understanding of aesthetic activity and agency. Building on this qualitative study, which is exploratory and exemplary in nature, as well as a comprehensive philosophical discussion, the research project aims to develop a differentiated understanding of the critical potential of aesthetic practice that takes into account the factual pedagogical conditions of aesthetic experience.

The Knowledge Transfer Centre West has set itself the goal of sustainably intensifying and professionalising knowledge transfer through joint actions and measures, tapping into exploitation potential, deepening and broadening cooperation with the economy but also with society as a whole, pursuing transdisciplinary and innovative approaches and using possible synergies to achieve these goals. The Kommunikations.Hub draws on the results of the first call for proposals "Awareness and Accompanying Measures" of the first funding period of the STC. In addition to already established measures within the terms "networking", "knowledge and technology transfer", especially the work package "innovation space" offers new projects. The further training offers - "Transfer Hubs" - designed in cooperation with the WTZ Ost offer spaces of opportunity in the thematic fields of "Post-Grad Life" and "Innovation Matters".

"Image+ Platform for Open Art Education" is an Austrian image and image research platform to improve the quality of teaching.

The project includes four focal scientific considerations of university vocal training or the underlying vocal pedagogical frameworks.

In its final year, the Spot On MozART is entirely dedicated to the "Spot On" moment: analogue and digital media, festivals, conferences, fairs - the Spot On moment is concerned with the presentation and positioning of the projects in public space.

On 10 March, prospective project leaders as well as project participants and cooperation partners met for the last time for a joint Spot On MozART workshop day at the Erentrudisalm.

Mozart had to deal with the problem of being an ordinary person and at the same time an extremely sensitive musician. Was it difficult to accept himself? Did he frighten himself when he realised his extraordinary talent? Was his humour helpful in accepting himself? In the search for answers to these questions, many themes can be discerned that can be symbolic and meaningful for any generation and at any time.

Since October 2019, Spot On MozART has been dedicated to the visual exploration of listening and thus to a new understanding of the music of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart. At the end of the project in autumn 2023, the Mozarteum University will present a retrospective of all implemented art and research projects in a comprehensive publication.

At the Department of Scenography, under the direction of the filmmaker and video artist Alexander du Prel, numerous animated films have been created at the Mozarteum University. The special feature: classical animation techniques are combined with digital recording techniques, the individual images are drawn individually on paper in analog form and then digitally stitched together, so that the films retain the charm of traditional animation. There is no other university or college in the German-speaking world that still works with this technique.
