Konferenz des Zentrums für Intermedialität mit Ausstellung der Künstlerin Annette Kisling

Die Darstellung von Armut über verschiedene Medien ist Thema einer internationalen Workshop-Konferenz des Zentrums für Intermedialität in Kooperation mit der Amerikanistik und der Kulturanthropologie von 11. bis 13. Oktober 2017 an der Uni Graz. Neben renommierten Keynote Speakers aus Kanada und den USA konnte das Organisationsteam unter der Leitung von Univ.-Prof. Dr. Nassim Balestrini auch die deutsche Fotografin und Künstlerin Annette Kisling für die Konferenz gewinnen. Die Professorin für Fotografie an der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig zeigt in der Attemsgasse 25 in der Ausstellung „Robin Hood Gardens“ eine erste Serie von Fotografien aus ihrem jüngsten Langzeit-Projekt.

Robin Hood Gardens ist ein Wohnkomplex in London aus den frühen 1970er-Jahren, entworfen von den Architekten Alison and Peter Smithson. Das damals innovative Vorzeigeprojekt für sozialen Wohnbau steht nun vor dem Abriss. Mit ihren Bildern will Kisling ihre Sicht von Smithsons bemerkenswerter Architektur verständlich machen.
Die Künstlerin untersucht in ihren Werken, wie Architektur bebauten Raum formt und bestimmt. Sie blickt auf die sichtbaren Fronten, mit denen sich Gebäude ihrer Umwelt präsentieren.
Vor der gestrigen Ausstellungseröffnung sprach Annette Kisling mit Reinhard Braun, künstlerischer Leiter von Camera Austria und Herausgeber der Zeitschrift Camera Austria International, über ihre Methoden und Zugänge.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

The University of Graz is further expanding its international study opportunities through the European university alliance Arqus and is taking the lead in two key projects.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
