PhD in Related Discipline

The PhD is part of the Expertise Network Artistic Paradigms & Methods at LUCA School of Arts and the Associated Faculty of the Arts at KU Leuven, within the research cluster Mediated Environments. This research group explores how artistic design and media practices can contribute to social reflection and dialogue. The doctoral project combines artistic research with design practice. Through a Research-through-Design approach, the researcher develops hybrid installations that merge physical space, digital layers, and audience interaction into new storytelling forms. Through artistic experiments, co-creation workshops with young people, and public interventions, the project investigates how stories can emerge that are both technologically innovative and socially meaningful. The outcomes include artistic realizations, academic publications, and a design vocabulary intended to inspire future makers and researchers in the field of hybrid spatial storytelling.
