The one-year program EARS for emerging artists-researchers aims to engage in practice-based research in areas related to sound and technology. The goal of the program is to conduct a practice-based pilot project, to develop a postgraduate research plan and finally to prepare an application to one of ZHdK’s artistic PhD cooperation (or other) programs.
Research at ICST is broad in scope, combining scientific and artistic research topics and methods. ICST thus provides an inspiring and nourishing environment in which to develop a practice-based research project. The project’s aim is to further specify research topic, methods and output formats. Participants will receive individual artistic and technical mentoring from two research associates at ICST and further methodological support according to the project’s needs.
The outcome is a project presentation and an exposé ready for submission. Detailed information can be found here.
Unfortunately, no new participants can be admitted to the EARS Pre-PhD Program in 2025. Details about the application process for the next period will be announced on the EARS website.
For any questions, please contact EARS coordinator Hanna Järveläinen.
