Dr. Steffen Zierholz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Early Modern Art History at the University of Tübingen's Faculty of Humanities. Previously, he held positions as Assistant Professor at the University of Bern (2016-2018) and Visiting Professor at Ruhr University Bochum (2021). His academic journey includes prestigious fellowships at the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome, the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence, and a Getty Foundation/American Council of Learned Societies Postdoctoral Fellowship. Ph.D. in History of Art, University of Bern (2016) M.A. in History of Art, University of Tübingen (2010) M.A. in Educational Studies, University of Tübingen (2009) Zierholz's research centers on Jesuit Art, Aesthetics of Existence in Early Modernity, and the material properties of stone surfaces. His work explores how early modern religious practices intersected with artistic production, particularly within Jesuit contexts. He investigates the relationship between spiritual exercises and visual/material culture, examining how surfaces, stones, and architectural spaces functioned as technologies of the self. His monograph 'Räume der Reform. Kunst und Lebenskunst der Jesuiten in Rom, 1580–1700' (2019) established him as a leading scholar in Jesuit art history. His recent publications reveal a consistent focus on Jesuit visual culture, with particular attention to Ignatian spirituality, celestial imagery, and material transformations. Zierholz demonstrates how stone surfaces functioned as alternative aesthetic systems, how copper's material properties shaped religious imagery, and how early modern artists conceptualized heavenly contemplation. His work bridges art history, religious studies, and material culture studies, revealing the complex interplay between visual forms and spiritual practices.

Julian Stadon is an Australian artist, designer, curator, researcher and educator currently working as a Lecturer at the University of Art and Design Linz in Austria. He is pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy through the Doctoral College, with a focus on Post-Biological Identity and Augmentation Aesthetics. Stadon is also the Founder/Director of The Mixed and Augmented Reality Art Organisation (MARArt.org) established in 2019, and has held various leadership positions in the field since 2009. His educational background includes a Master of Electronic Art from Curtin University, completed on September 19, 2008, with a thesis focusing on "Understanding Identity Construction and Participation in Virtual Worlds Through Mixed Reality Hypersurfacing." Prior to this, he completed a Bachelor of Fine Art with a double major in Sculpture and AudioVisual Art. Stadon's research centers on the intersection of physical and digital identities, exploring what he terms "Post-Biological Identity" through artistic practice. His work investigates how humans are "bio-digitally convergent" through the concept of "Data Bodies" - entities that exist simultaneously as both material and virtual. He has developed a bespoke practice-based, iterative methodology called "Augmentation Aesthetics" which focuses on entangling the physical and metaphysical through liminal artistic practice. This research expands into areas of immersive media art and Bio-Art, examining how these fields perpetuate extended human experiences of self. His artistic output demonstrates a clear trajectory from object-oriented approaches to social engagement with Art, through Mixed Reality, Immersion and Identity, culminating in his PhD research on Augmentation Aesthetics, Embodied Art and Post-Biological Identity. More recently, his work has expanded into "Augmenting Ecological Aesthetics," indicating an evolving research direction that integrates ecological concerns with digital embodiment. Stadon has established The Mixed and Augmented Reality Art Organisation (MARArt.org) as a platform for socially engaged development and presentation of his research outcomes. This organization serves as a pivot from historical examples and recent iterations of augmentation toward a more expansive contemporary understanding of the field, with documented activities including the MARart Aesthetics Panel at ISMAR in Fukuoka (2015). His creative practice includes numerous significant projects such as "Data Body Trader," "Fecal Alchemy (2022)," "TeleAgriCulture," "SWAN PANDA Performance," and "Yima," which collectively demonstrate his commitment to exploring the boundaries between material and virtual existence through artistic inquiry. These works have been presented at venues including MAAT in Lisbon and FACT Liverpool.

Balázs Kicsiny (born 1958 in Salgótarján, Hungary) is a Professor at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts Doctorate School since 2018, where he previously served as Associate Professor (2015-2018) and Senior Lecturer (2005-2015). He chairs the Doctoral Council and has significantly shaped artistic research education in Hungary. Internationally recognized, Kicsiny has exhibited extensively across Europe and the United States, with his work collected by major institutions including the Hungarian National Gallery and Ludwig Museum. His educational background includes: 1982: Painter and high school teacher diploma, Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts 1985: Mural diploma, Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts 2008: Doctor of Liberal Arts (DLA), Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts 2014: Habilitation, Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts Kicsiny's research centers on the representation of time in art, exploring how temporal and spatial distances collapse in contemporary experience. His doctoral dissertation 'Clock motif and eschatology' examined measurable versus immeasurable time, while his habilitation focused on Giorgio de Chirico's metaphysical paintings in relation to Nietzsche, Kafka, and Proust. He investigates performative art, particularly Alan Kaprow's happenings as moral acts, and the work of György Román. His conceptual installations often employ anthropomorphic figures to explore existential situations through absurdist juxtapositions. His recent exhibition series 'Killing Time' (2012-2014) and 'Time-Wasting' (2021) demonstrate his ongoing preoccupation with temporal perception and the philosophical implications of waiting. Kicsiny's work consistently bridges tragedy and comedy, creating polyphonic art that can be interpreted in multiple ways. His installations often feature timeless, faceless figures that embody human situations rather than specific individuals, inviting viewers to reflect on broader existential conditions rather than personal narratives. His scientific achievements include: 2023: Member of the Széchenyi Academy of Letters and Arts 2005: Officer's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary 2002: New Work and Commissions Grant, Art Council of England 2000: Year of the Artist Grant, Art Council of England 1993: Smohay Award 1992: Munkácsy State Art Award As an educator, Kicsiny has mentored doctoral students in artistic research, emphasizing the balance between creative practice and theoretical discourse. His teaching philosophy focuses on developing students' intellectual mobility and research methodologies within contemporary art discourse. He has organized international collaborations between Hungarian and foreign doctoral schools, facilitating exchanges that enrich artistic research methodologies. His grants include the Freund Visiting Artist Fellowship (2011/2012) at Washington University, which supported cross-cultural artistic dialogue. Kicsiny's work functions as an independent creative laboratory where conceptual frameworks meet physical installation. His practice operates at the intersection of philosophy, art history, and contemporary practice, creating what he terms 'anthropoid templates' - figures that embody conceptual situations rather than specific identities. This approach allows his installations to serve as sites of philosophical inquiry where viewers confront fundamental questions about existence, time, and human experience through carefully constructed visual metaphors.
