Y (Institute for Transdisciplinarity)
The Y Institute is a centre for transdisciplinary research and tuition. Its core principle is the conviction that art and thinking don't stop at generic borders. The Y Institute sees itself as a place of communication between various forms of realisation and representation. In its teaching curriculum as well as in its research activities, the Y orchestrates collaborations of various art forms and works on developing the cross-sections of art and science. Thus, it brings various different disciplines and cultures of knowledge closer together.
The offered teaching of the Y includes the transdisciplinary programme for Bachelor and Master students and the transciplinary BA courses for X+Y students. It also runs the Master of Contemporary Arts Practice with specialisations in the fields Fine Arts, Music, Literature and Performance. Research is organised into four fields:
Intermediality, Interpretation, Communication Design and Materiality in Art and Culture.
