  Foreword reposition #2 (2024) author(s): Alexander Damianisch published in: University of Applied Arts Vienna
  Foreword by Alexander Damianisch, Project Lead and Editorial reposition is a support project for research documentation and offers researchers of all disciplines and departments at the Angewandte the opportunity to publish their work according to peer-review principles. Colleagues of any level and doctoral students in arts and sciences are invited to share their work. This series showcases their diverse approaches to project-oriented research work and presents current insights, captivating research processes, and ongoing projects from a deeply personal perspective that courageously unearth the work-in-progress. The idea of reposition is to emphasise dynamic approaches that demonstrate the courage to adopt alternative perspectives and a focus that lies always on a dialogue in-between.

  Withdrawing the Performer. Facilitating Participatory Sense-Making (2024) author(s): Imani Rameses, Charlotta Ruth, Jasmin Schaitl published in: University of Applied Arts Vienna
  With "Withdrawing the Performer. Facilitating Participatory Sense-Making", Imani Rameses (Center Research Focus, PhD candidate PhD in Art), Charlotta Ruth (Angewandte Performance Lab), and Jasmin Schaitl (Angewandte Performance Lab) combine their approaches from visual arts, choreography, and cognitive neuroscience to examine participatory modalities in immersive performative settings through the lens of social cognition. They focus on the role of the facilitator, a nearly invisible and overlooked, but highly important part of any performative situation. Working with facilitator experts in a practice-based peer-to-peer exchange, the authors seek to understand different methods for reducing thresholds and modulating participatory situations.

  SoundCape. Combating Environmental Noise in Urban Areas (2024) author(s): Sophie Luger, Lenia Mascha published in: University of Applied Arts Vienna
  Sophie Luger (Institute of Architecture) and Lenia Mascha (Institute of Architecture) address the increasingly important issue of urban noise pollution. "SoundCape. Combating Environmental Noise in Urban Areas" explores how sound and noise prevention can be incorporated into architectural design. To develop building structures for noise control in urban environments, the authors examine contradictory historical approaches from architecture and acoustics to learn about the relation of sound and material. Their approach focuses on geometry; experiments with Chladni patterns show that geometrical and material properties of architectural façades have an impact on spatial acoustics and result in the design of ornamental elements that can reduce unwanted noise in cities.

  A Collective Cycling Body Of Sound (2024) author(s): Bianca Ludewig, Magdalena Scheicher, Conny Zenk published in: University of Applied Arts Vienna
  Conny Zenk (Center Research Focus, PhD candidate PhD in Art), Bianca Ludewig (researcher and journalist) and Magdalena Scheicher (researcher) are interested in taking not only unusual paths but also using vehicles in different ways. In their contribution "A Collective Cycling Body Of Sound", they reflect on the bicycle as a medium for art and sound and present activist strategies of collective cycling to open up queer-feminist, solidarity-based perspectives on the city. In doing so, they explore the possibilities of public space as a sound space and discuss insights from Zenk’s activist practice. Inviting Ludewig and Scheicher for interviews, Zenk discusses bikefeminism and counterpublics, and approaches soundrides as a form of empowerment.

  Post-Digital Angst – The Direct Experience (2024) author(s): Mong Sum Leung published in: University of Applied Arts Vienna
  In his contribution "Post-Digital Angst – The Direct Experience", Mong-Sum Joseph Leung (Center Research Focus, PhD candidate PhD in Art) explores anxiety in the post-digital age, examining it as a basic anthropological condition in relation to concepts such as hollowness, nullity, and the unknown. Leung intertwines personal experiences from daily life with his artistic practice and ontological reflections on the human condition, working with Heidegger’s notions of Sorge and Angst, to reflect on affective experiences in a digitalized world.

  Sustainable Behavior with Cultural Heritage: Study on Visitor Awareness (2024) author(s): Marie-Christine Pachler, Gabriela Krist published in: University of Applied Arts Vienna
  Gabriela Krist (Institute of Conservation) and Marie-Christine Pachler (Institute of Conservation) provide solutions for challenges in seemingly obvious everyday situations in their contribution "Sustainable Behavior with Cultural Heritage: Study on Visitor Awareness". This text provides insights and findings from a study of awareness-raising measures conducted at Schönbrunn palace. This site is particularly popular with tourists and must deal with the wear and damage of displayed objects. As conservators, the authors draw attention to the damage that visitors can cause, and examine different educational measures to improve awareness among tourists and staff members.
